Do You Have To Have A Prescription For Tamiflu And Relenza?

By Doctor

My family and I have been looking everywhere for this stuff and no luck. Was it ever available over the counter? Or did they wipe it off the shelves for the hospitals?

Yes, in the US (as well as in EU), you do need a prescription for both.
These drugs were never OTC.
As far as availability goes: both drugs are very specific; quite expensive. Since even during the seasonal flu period the demand for these drugs was never really high, the retail pharmacy normally would stock only a few packages (if any at all).
Now is a different story.

No because it’s a prescription and of course they’re going to hoard it for the people who get the illness. Yeah I know it sucks. I got so worried that I actually thought about not leaving my apartment until the epidemic was over with, but then I remembered that I had to go grocery shopping :(

Please don’t buy it- if you get sick it will be given to you, but otherwise you will just be taking it out of the hands of those who truly need it.
