someone in my family has been prescribed tamiflu?
what is it for? what should other members do?
since you should said its prevention drug, should other memebers talk to doctor about taking the medication.
is it for swine flu or for other types of flu?

2009 H1N1 flu virus infection (formerly known as swine flu) can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may also have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu, including 2009 H1N1, and have respiratory symptoms without a fever. Like seasonal flu, 2009 H1N1 flu in humans can vary in severity from mild to severe. Severe disease with pneumonia, respiratory failure and even death is possible with 2009 H1N1 flu infection. Certain groups might be more likely to develop a severe illness from 2009 H1N1 flu infection, such as pregnant women and persons with chronic medical conditions. Sometimes bacterial infections may occur at the same time as or after infection with influenza viruses and lead to pneumonias, ear infections, or sinus infections.

It’s not tamiflu, it’s Tamiflu. Tamiflu is an antiviral medication. Anti..viral..and flu is a virus. It’s used in flu prevention when you been exposed to flu and it’s also used in the treatment of flu when taken within 2 days of the first symptoms. Relenza is a similar product used for the same reasons.
"what should other members do?" — I don’t know what you’re asking. You have to make yourself clear.
