The purpose of this multi-center study is to evaluate the effects of treatment of influenza (flu) with zanamivir delivered intravenously rather than via traditional inhaler. Specifically, researchers will be monitoring the safety and tolerability of the medicine.
Subject to certain exclusion criteria, this study is open to individuals of both genders ages six months through adult who are hospitalized with the flu. Males: Ages 6 months through adult Females: Ages 6 months through adult
Participants will be given intravenous dosages of zanamivir twice a day for 5 days and if needed, as determined by the patient’s doctor, for up to 10 days. Blood sampling will be done throughout the period in which the medicine is administered and electrocardiograms will be done at certain intervals. Patients will be recalled to the hospital for final tests following the study.
