Neuraminidase inhibitors inhibit an enzyme, neuraminidase, that is produced by virus infected cells and which helps viruses to leave infected host cells. Zanamivir and oselta-mivir are examples, which are used to treat influenza A and B in vulnerable individuals (those over 65 years or those with chronic respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, immunosuppression or diabetes). They must be used within a few hours and up to 48 hours of onset of symptoms to be effective. However, vaccination against influenza is considered the most effective way of preventing influenza and drugs should not be seen as a substitute. There are NICE guidelines on the use of zanamivir and oseltamivir. [Pg.164]
