Due to high demand and packaging delays, Roche had experienced a shortage of supplies of the liquid version of the medicine, known a Tamiflu Oral Suspension, used to treat children under the age of 13 and adults unable to swallow pills. &quot;We now anticipate having sufficient supply of both the liquid and capsule forms of Tamiflu to meet demand for this flu season,&quot; Roche spokeswoman Tara Iannuccillo said in an emailed statement. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has added Tamiflu OS to the list of resolved drug shortages on its website with the notation &quot;no supply issues anticipated.&quot; Tamiflu is used to reduce the severity of the flu when taken at the outset of symptoms.</p><br clear="all"/>
