Could I get in trouble?

special_kala · Aug 16th, 2009, 12:13 PM

My auntie is over in India atm on holiday and she has come down with flu symptoms and their not being very helpfull, apparently if doctor sees her he will put her in quarantine and its horrible.

Can i send her a prescription through airmail? or is that like still classed as drug smuggling?

Hope she feels better soon though xx

how would you be able to send her a prescription? im not sure how she would be able to get one from a doctor in uk unless she saw one? unless you mean stuff you can buy over the counter, that would be fine to send i would think as is not an illegal drug

They think she has swine flu and both her and my uncle have pretty bad health at th best of times. I can get the prescription on flu website and pick it up as i have her birth certificate here.

Apparently their not treating them very well and scaring them.

I don't think there's any point tbh. Just let her ride out the flu. By the time the tamiflu gets there she'll probably be over the worse.

When r they due to come home??

special_kala · Aug 16th, 2009, 12:31 PM

Their away for a month, like a touring holiday. Its also a concern if my uncle gets it, id rather him have some out there just incase

Im not sure where i heard this, but i think tamiflu just makes it get worse but go away quicker???
So u get it more intense but for less time??

Im just thinking of somewhere u could ring with your query.

I was thinking of calling royal mail tomorrow.

apparently side effects are really bad but swine flu is dangerous cos it gets into your lungs more then normal and both my auntie and uncle suffer from asthma and have both had pneumonia a few times

Ironic thing is that they went away to a hot country as it makes there breathing better
