CDC Statement on Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) Resistance and Antiviral Recommendations
For Immediate Release: January 9, 2009

The guidance was issued in response to early data from a limited number of states indicating that a high proportion of influenza A (H1N1) viruses are resistant to the influenza antiviral medication oseltamivir (Tamiflu®). Worldwide, the proportion of H1N1 viruses that are resistant to oseltamivir has been increasing so this development is not surprising
