...What role can drugs play in tackling a swine flu outbreak? Over the last few years, concern over a bird flu pandemic spurred many governments to stockpile antivirals. While the current swine flu outbreak remains limited in scope, health agencies will likely offer antivirals as a prophylaxis only to those who may have been exposed to the disease: asymptomatic passengers on the same flight as a sick Spanish man, for example, have been given Oseltamivir as a precaution.
