Has the FAA approved the new influenza medication Tamiflu?
No, Tamiflu is not approved for use during flying, and the FAA does not plan to review this decision until October. In the meantime, if you are given this medication, we recommend that you do not return to flying until your flu symptoms have resolved and 48 hours have elapsed since the last dose.
