Mode of actions
Oseltamivir is a medicine that turns into its active form, called oseltamivir carboxylate (OC), once inside the body. OC works by blocking neuraminidase, an enzyme that the influenza A and B viruses need to multiply. By blocking this enzyme, the medicine stops the viruses from spreading out of infected cells.
