You have posted that twice without posting the first part, Kumar. Here is the total post about how "Tamiflu" works. It is the only known drug that will do this. "TAMIFLU works to stop the spread of flu virus in the body. TAMIFLU is a neuraminidase (noor-uh-MIN-ih-dase) inhibitor. These inhibitors treat the cause of influenza infection by inhibiting the critical neuraminidase protein on the surface of the virus. See our diagram below and learn how neuraminidase inhibitors work to significantly reduce the duration of the flu. On the diagram below, move the slider to the right and learn how neuraminidase inhibitors work to help fight the flu. Virus Drawing As the flu multiplies, neuraminidase enables it to move on and infect other host cells (left). When you inhibit neuraminidase (right), the flu can't escape from its host cell, which prevents it from spreading. The relationship between the invitro antiviral activity in cell culture and the inhibition of influenza virus replication in humans has not been established." tamiflu.com
