Primary outcomePrimary: Steady-State AUC of Oseltamivir Carboxylate — 2579 hour*ng/mL
Summary
One in three Americans are obese. Obese subjects may or may not need higher doses of the anti-flu drug known as Tamiflu (oseltamivir). The current study is being done to see if the FDA approved dose of oseltamivir will achieve similar concentrations in obese healthy volunteers compared to that previously shown in non-obese volunteers.
