Fox News
The U.S. will release prescription flu medication from the strategic national stockpile in response to an unusually early and severe flu season.
Tamiflu, or oseltamivir phosphate, comes in liquid and capsule form and fights the flu by stopping the virus from multiplying in an infected person's body.
