Date of Approval

Oseltamivir Phosphate is an anti-viral medication that belongs to neuraminidase inhibitor and was approved by the FDA on December 14, 2000, for the treatment and prevention of influenza A and B.

Mechanism of Action of Oseltamivir Phosphate

Oseltamivir Phosphate is a pro-drug that gets converted into its active form (Oseltamivir carboxylate) inside the body. It is a neuraminidase inhibitor used in the treatment and prophylaxis of influenza. It works by inhibiting the neuraminidase enzyme present on the surface of the virus.
