Flu season has definitely arrived and many people have already been affected. January and February 2013 are peak seasons for the flu according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. To ensure you are taking the proper precautions use pharmacist-recommended Oscillococcinum.
Oscillococcinum also known as Oscillo, can help reduce flu like symptoms such as chills, fever, body aches, soar throat, or headaches. Used in over 60 countries around the world, it has been helpful for adults and children especially during this year’s flu season.

Oscillo has been used in France for the past 65 years and continues to be the number one brand recommended for the 3rd consecutive year. Adults and children 2 years and older can take Oscillo if they are feeling sick, however if your child is younger than 2 you should speak to a doctor before use. The entire tube can be taken by mouth every 6 hours up to 3 times a day. Oscillo comes in 6, 12, or 30 doses and is also available in Children’s Oscillococcinum.
