Does Tamiflu help the flu go away faster?

Unfortunately Tamiflu doesn't actually get rid of the flu any faster than not taking it. Tamiflu just makes the flu symptoms less severe if taken within 48 hours before the flu fully takes effect.

The flu will last from 7 to 10 days even if you take Tamiflu.
