The influenza medication Tamiflu is not a medicine to be treated lightly and is designed only to treat serious cases of the flu. There have been reports of a number of people who have been taking Tamiflu thinking that it will protect them against getting the swine influenza virus which is now being found in a number of new locations in the United Kingdom. The medication Tamiflu should only be used on the advice of a doctor and can cause a number of side effects which you should know about and which a doctor will explain to you.

Harry Houseago who was prescribed Tamiflu after his school in London was shut down because of an outbreak of swine influenza has earned his fifteen minutes of fame after a song he composed and uploaded to YouTube became an online hit. Harry who complains about the side effects of Tamiflu in the song is only thirteen years old but obviously already has considerable talent. He called the song “Ode to Tamiflu” and said that he had been inspired to write it because everybody was talking about it and that it was fun to “turn it into a song”.
Harry has been stuck at home with nothing to do since his school closed after five fellow students were found to be suffering from the H1N1 swine flu virus. Harry admitted that despite using the Tamiflu medication he had not actually suffered from the side effects listed on the packaging and was merely inspired to write about them after reading the labeling. (He must have been really bored!)
Harry’s school, Alleyn's School in Dulwich should be open again normally soon and made the decision to issue all its pupils the Tamiflu influenza medication just to be on the safe side.
