Market Introduction 

Influenza, commonly referred to as flu, is a viral infection that affects the throat, nose, and lungs. The symptoms of flu usually come on suddenly and take the form of cough, sore throat, fever, runny nose, headaches, and fatigue. Flu typically causes mild illness, but negligence can lead to severe illness or even death. The symptoms of influenza can be managed by taking ample rest and consuming plenty of fluids. But in case of a more severe infection, healthcare professionals may prescribe an antiviral medicine for treating the flu. These medications can take the form of oseltamivir, baloxavir, and zanamivir. Baloxavir and oseltamivir are intended for oral consumption, whereas zanamivir is inhaled using a device similar to an asthma inhaler.
