How effective is Relenza?

It is very effective providing it is taken within two days of infection. Because it is an oral inhalant, it acts directly at the primary site of infection which is the upper respiratory tract.

How should I take Relenza?

The treatment comes in very fine powdered form in the shape of a disc inhaler. You simply pierce the disc and inhale – the process is similar to an asthma inhaler. The normal dosage of Relenza is 10 mg taken with a disc inhaler once every 12 hours for five days.

Precautions

Do not take Relenza if:

  • you have ever had an allergic reaction to zanamivir, lactose or milk protein.
  • you are breastfeeding, pregnant or trying to become pregnant
  • you suffer from asthma or other breathing problems

What are the side effects of Relenza?

Most people taking Relenza find that it causes no problems.
However, very rarely, some people have experienced:

  • shortness of breath
  • wheezing
  • swelling of the face or in the mouth or throat
  • an itchy, raised skin rash (hives)
  • skin rash which may blister
  • a widespread rash with blisters and peeling skin,
  • extensive peeling of the skin on much of the body surface.

If this occurs stop taking Relenza and contact your doctor immediately.
