The flu is no longer a virus without treatment options. Thanks to the latest advances, 1 Health now offers Flu Rapid Antigen Testing (RAT), making flu diagnosis faster and more accessible than ever. Coupled with the proven antiviral Tamiflu, patients can now receive next-level care that dramatically improves flu outcomes.


What is Flu RAT Testing?


Flu RAT testing is a simple, quick diagnostic tool that detects Influenza A and B viruses by identifying specific viral antigens. Similar to the COVID-19 rapid tests we are all familiar with, the Flu RAT delivers accurate results within minutes, enabling immediate clinical decisions. Early identification of flu infection is especially important for young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals who are at higher risk of severe illness.


Why Early Detection Matters


In the past, flu was often managed only with symptom relief because treatments were limited or delayed due to slow diagnosis. This is no longer the case. With Flu RAT, 1 Health can rapidly determine if a patient has the flu, setting the stage for timely intervention. Rapid testing improves patient care by preventing unnecessary treatments and helping contain outbreaks.


Tamiflu: An Effective Antiviral Treatment


Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is an antiviral medication approved for influenza treatment that works by stopping the virus from multiplying in the body. Clinical evidence shows that when taken within 48 hours of symptom onset, Tamiflu can reduce the duration of flu symptoms by 1-2 days and lower the risk of serious complications and hospitalization. This timely antiviral therapy gives patients a better chance at a swift recovery.


The 1 Health Advantage


By integrating Flu RAT testing with access to Tamiflu, 1 Health offers a comprehensive flu care solution. This approach moves beyond the outdated notion that “there is no treatment for the flu” and empowers patients with quick diagnostics and effective treatment. Choosing 1 Health means benefiting from cutting-edge flu diagnosis technology paired with clinically proven medication—delivering next-level healthcare service to the community.


Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones This Flu Season


If you experience flu symptoms like fever, cough, headache, or fatigue, don’t wait. Visit 1 Health for Flu RAT testing and expert advice on Tamiflu treatment. Early testing and antiviral use are your best protection against severe flu illness.


Stay informed and prepared with 1 Health—because when it comes to the flu, rapid testing and timely treatment can make all the difference.
