Title: Drug Information Update - Public Health Advisory: Availability of Tamiflu for Oral Suspension

FDA/CDER/Division of Drug Information (DDI)

The Division of Drug Information (DDI) is CDER's focal point for public inquiries. We serve the public by providing information on human drug products and drug product regulation by FDA.


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is informing healthcare professionals and consumers that additional quantities of the commercially prepared Tamiflu for Oral Suspension are being shipped to wholesalers and pharmacies. This new supply should address the current overall product shortage, although it will not immediately resolve shortages in all areas and availability may be variable for some time.

Pharmacists may still be required to prepare a compounded version of Tamiflu oral suspension from the 75 mg capsules, as directed in the drug label, until adequate supplies are available.

FDA is also reminding healthcare professionals and consumers of additional important safety information regarding the safe and effective use of Tamiflu suspension.
