### Human:\ncan you take headache relief (equate brand) medicine with tamiflu?\n\n### Assistant: for the most definitive answer you should pick up the phone and consult a pharmacist. he or she can tell you what over-the-counter medications are safe to take with tamiflu (generic name: oseltamivir). in general however it should be ok to take an over-the-counter pain reliever with tamiflu. oseltamivir is an anti-viral medication. it does not contain pain relievers. if you've come down with the flu i'm sorry to hear it and wish you well!
