THREAD: Evidence for oseltamivir for #influenza prevention

1/6 Not much #flu last year, yet almost 14,000 BC residents were prescribed #oseltamivir (Tamiflu) for prevention

โœ…Flu guidelines bit.ly/3wwGJei

โœ…Systematic review of Tamiflu safety pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27246259
2/6 #Oseltamivir for prevention reduces โ†˜๏ธ symptomatic influenza by 3%, (NNT=33) with an uncertain effect on asymptomatic #influenza

It likely has a central symptom reducing effect but may not reduce viral transmission
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27246259

#Tamiflu #prescribing
3/6 #Oseltamivir wonโ€™t reduce the risk of developing influenza-like illness though it can make people feel better (i.e. fewer symptoms) and reduces โ†˜๏ธ fever

There is not enough evidence to say it prevents death, hospitalizations, or flu complications

THREAD: Medication adherence and shared decision-making

1/6 Our TI Letter 132 suggests a more democratic & ethical approach to shared decision-making: ti.ubc.ca/letter132

Here are 5โƒฃ highlightsโ€ฆ

#MedEd #FOAMed #MedicationAdherence #PatientPreferences
2/6 Patients always retain right to say โ€œno, thank youโ€๐Ÿ›‘

Some pts may not want to accept their doctor's recommendations for a prescribed ๐Ÿ’Š & have their own reasons to feel that it's not worth it for them.

This "intentional non-adherence" is a choice that should be respected
3/6 Studies have tested adherence aids

While these aids can improve adherence we donโ€™t know if they lead to improved health outcomes ๐Ÿ˜•
