Indonesia to start producing Tamiflu

Denpasar (ANTARA News) - Indonesia will start producing oseltamivir (tamiflu) pills in an adquate amount this year in anticipation of the possibility of a further spread of the bird flu virus.


Coordinating Minister for People`s Welfare Aburizal Bakrie said here on Tuesday the drug would be produced in an adequate quantity so the country no longer needed to import it.
