re: Xofluza is the bomb

Kids had the flu and I had xofluza almost ready to go knowing it was coming because I was home with them while they were sick. I’m not sure it did much for me. I was pretty miserable for a few days. But who knows maybe it took me from 7 days to 3 days.

In case anyone was curious how it works:
quote:
This new drug works differently than currently available drugs, including oseltamivir (Tamiflu), zanamivir (Relenza), and peramivir (Rapivab). These older drugs inhibit the virus by blocking a viral enzyme called neuraminidase. In contrast, baloxavir inhibits a subunit of the viral polymerase, the enzyme responsible for influenza virus replication. Put more simply, baloxavir interferes with the ability of the flu virus to multiply, while the older drugs interfere with the ability of the flu virus to spread within the body. This different mechanism of action means baloxavir may be effective against strains of influenza A that are resistant to oseltamivir, the drug used most widely for treatment of influenza. Baloxavir is also active against strains of avian influenza ("bird flu").

Started feeling bad at work yesterday morning. Tested positive for the flu at 12:30. Took Xofluza at 3pm yesterday. Today I am feeling better with the exception of a headache.
Wife, who never gets the flu, had it over 20 years ago. Her physician gave her a shot of cortisone and she was well by the time she returned home.

F**king United didn’t want to pay.
Under my UHC plan, it would run me 125 dollars. At that point, what is the freaking point of having insurance. Only good thing is that my employer is paying 100% of my medical insurance, otherwise it would be easier just to pay the 183 GoodRx price.

Popped positive for flu on 1/15/20 after being in NO for the CFB Championship. Took Xofluza that same day and it didn't do shite. I was laid out for 10 days, sicker than I had ever been with the flu. The fact I didn't catch Covid until Omicron almost 2 years later tells me I had the early WuFlu.

It's better than Tamiflu but expensive. You will pay $35 to $150/dose depending on prescription coverage even with coupon. No generic until 2038 or so.

Insurance is such a scam. Flu shots are required to be covered at no cost. Xofluza should be free if you got the damn flu shot and then still got the flu.

Wife tested positive for type A yesterday. She took it yesterday and is a different person today.
I took it yesterday as well as more of a precaution. Not showing any symptoms.
Each was $35 with our insurance here in BR.

Expensive but worth it. Something like $130 for a single dose.

Imagine having such a feeble immune system that you need “Xofluza”
Posted on 2/18/26 at 9:05 pm to WeeWee
I’ve taken Xofluza twice and it made me feel better within hours. Side effects be damned (there were none). It’s worth every penny.
