T1 - Oseltamivir Prescribing in Pharmacy-Benefits Database, United States, 2004–2005 T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2008 VL - 14 IS - 8 SP - 1280 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We reviewed information from a US pharmacy benefits manager database from 2004 through 2005 during periods with little influenza activity. We calculated rates of oseltamivir prescriptions to enrollees. Prescription rates increased significantly from 27.3/100,000 in 2004 to 134/100,000 in 2005 (p<0.05), which suggested that personal stockpiling of oseltamivir occurred.
