INDICATIONS AND USAGE
1.1
TREATMENT OF INFLUENZA
RELENZA is indicated for treatment of both uncomplicated acute illness
due to

who have been symptomatic
for no more than 48 hours and pediatric patients 7 years and older who

for no more than 36 hours.
1.2
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON USE OF RELENZA

RELENZA is not recommended for treatment of influenza in individuals
with underlying
airways disease (such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease) due to risk of
serious bronchospasm
_[see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]_
.

RELENZA has not been proven effective for treatment of influenza in
individuals with
underlying airways disease.

Influenza viruses change over time. Emergence of resistance mutations
could decrease drug
effectiveness. Other factors (for example, changes in viral virulence)
might also diminish
clinical benefit of antiviral drugs. Prescribers should consider
available information on
influenza drug susceptibility patterns and treatment effects when
deciding whether to use
RELENZA.

There is no evidence for efficacy of zanamivir in any illness caused
by agents other than
influenza virus A and B.

Patients should be advised that the use of RELENZA for treatment of
influenza has not been
shown to reduce the risk of transmission of influenza to others.
