Tamiflu Sales Increase Due to Swine Flu Outbreak

Affiliate news published: May 1st 2009

Demand for Tamiflu has soared over the past month due to concerns over the spread of swine flu. With several deaths already reported across the world, the world health authority has raised its pandemic warning level up to 6, the highest warning level, which means that wide spread outbreaks are almost a certainty.

Swine flu is a new and potentially lethal strain of the influenza virus. Initially, the virus was only causing outbreaks amongst pigs, but a new strain of the virus, known as H1N1, has been able to cross species and become harmful to humans. H1N1 is the same strain of the virus which caused the flu pandemic in 1918 and many fear that this new version of the strain could have equally devastating effects.

The first confirmed cases were in Mexico at the end of last month, however new cases were quickly detected. Within the next seven days 144 patients were confirmed to have swine flu and cases had been discovered across Europe, including the UK. Shortly after, the virus was reported to have passed from person to person in the US, Mexico, UK, Canada, Spain and Germany and WHO reported that a pandemic was imminent.

While this news is extremely troubling, people will feel reassured that an effective treatment exists in Tamiflu. Swine flu has only proved to be fatal in a small number of cases, and amongst those treated with Tamiflu, the number of those seriously affected by the condition is small. Doctor’s are recommending that people seek immediate medical attention if they experience any flu like symptoms, which is why the effective distribution of Tamiflu is so important at this time.

Obviously this means that the promotion of Tamiflu should become a priority with our affiliates and should be effectively incorporated into their market strategy. This is not only an opportunity for affiliates to increase their commissions, but also to spread the message that the Hexpress sites are selling a genuine product. We need you to steer customers who are in need of essential vital medications away from anyone who would take advantage of the situation and market placebos to those in need.
