    Tamiflu and Relenza are antvirals so in theory they could treat normal winter flu. However, like all antibiotics, overuse reduces efficiency and increases resistance so they aren't commonly used except in extreme cases.

    Not everybody has been getting Tamiflu. Relenza is only going to be used when the virus mutates and becomes resistant to Tamiflu.
