...anyone know if the two are compatible?

Will be called into school where I work later today to get it (5 kids down now, and everyone's being given it), but I expect the school nurse won't have a clue.

Any knowledgeable medical out there, please?

Yes, 'tis Alleyn's. Still haven't been given the tamiflu yet. Think they are determined to work us until we drop.

Thanks Minty and frisby.

In terms of tamiflu and pregnancy it is a very new drug so there would be no evidence. The drugs that are used during pg have generally been around 20+ years so they have had time to gather evidence about them.

I read somewhere that Relenza was going to be used for pregnant people, so maybe that might be safer for BF? I dont know, but it might be worth asking the person who is handing out the medicines about it

Do you think JAGS and Dulwich will be closed because of siblings? The school i work in has siblings at both schools i think.

I prefer the side effects of relenza, now would be a good time to get preggers...although that would make me feel sicker anyway

My dad teaches chess at Alleyn's - eeek. He's supposed to be babysitting on Wednesday.
