About Flucover Capsule

Flucover Capsule contains a class of antiviral medication, oseltamivir, which is used to treat viral infections. It plays a vital role in treating symptoms caused by the influenza virus. It is used to treat cough, stuffy nose, sore throat, chills/fevers, and tiredness. The flu is caused by the influenza virus, which infects the lungs, throat, and nose. Influenza is a severe disease. Several diseases that keep people at higher risk include asthma, liver and kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes. Flucover Capsule contains oseltamivir, which is an antiviral medication.
