Use of antivirals in children with seasonal flu - 10 August 2009
RCPCH response to the use of antivirals in children with seasonal flu - 10 August 2009
RCPCH response to BMJ paper that found no clear evidence that antivirals prevent complications in children with seasonal flu.
"We note the review and that it reports on the use of antivirals in treating seasonal flu. We agree with the Department of Health that any new evidence should be considered by those who give national health policy advice. We continue to support the Department of Health's advice on the management of children with swine flu."
