how avian flu is treated?

Answer 1

"Treatment of Avian Flu in Humans

Anti-viral drugs are given to humans who may be infected with Avian Flu. These drugs are also used to combat human influenza.

In the United States, four antiviral medications are approved for treatment of influenza. These are:

Amantadine
Rimantadine
Oseltamivir
Zanamivir (limited supply)
When used for treatment within the first two days of illness, all four antiviral medications are similarly effective in reducing the duration of illness by one or two days. People who are at high risk of serious complications from Avian flu are given top priority to these medications. Three of these antiviral medications (amantadine, rimantadine, and oseltamivir) are also approved for prophylaxis (prevention) of influenza.

The Center of Disease Control recommends that any person experiencing a potentially life-threatening influenza-related illness should be treated with antiviral medications. Also, any person at high risk for serious complications of influenza and who is within the first 2 days of illness onset should be treated with antiviral medications. In children, rimantadine is approved for prophylaxis among children aged >1 year and for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza among adults. Although rimantadine is approved only for prophylaxis of influenza among children, certain specialists in the management of influenza consider it appropriate for treatment of influenza among children. Also available for treatment of children (>1 year) are amantadine and oseltamivir, or zanamivir for children aged over 7 years."
