Article Abstract:

Nurses are worried about the possible side-effects of oseltamivir (Tamiflu), the key defence against a possible pandemic of influenza, following warnings that the drug could be linked to psychological disorders, suicides and death in children. The European Medicines Agency has stated that there is no evidence to link the drug to psychological disorders and as the rate of suspected side-effects are very low, product information in the UK is not changed.
