I had dinner two nights ago with an anesthesiologist friend who is a drug expert. He had already bought Tamiflu for himself. He said you had two choices:

1) If you are febrile (and you know the Bird Flu is making the rounds), take the recommended dose of 1 pill/2x day for 5 days. If you get better Tamiflu works for you and you're lucky. If you get better, you will be immune against further infection.

2) Take the recommended dose every day until the pandemic burns itself out. You probably won't be any better off than you would be under scenario #1.

He said he thought the pills only kept for six months or so. I told him I thought someone on SI said it would keep a couple of years in the freezer. He said he'd call the drug company and ask them, but I haven't heard back from yet.
