Abstract
Oseltamivir is commonly used for Influenza viral infection. It can cause bradycardia rarely when used for influenza treatment. This is a case of 29 years old female who got admitted with history of fever, generalized weakness, cough and multiple episodes of loose stools for 3 days. She was diagnosis of acute viral pneumonia / acute gastroenteritis was made and she received levofloxacin (500mg once daily orally) and Oseltamivir (75mg twice daily orally) for 3 days at outside hospital. In our hospital the Electro-cardiogram (ECG) showed sinus bradycardia which was suspected to be due to Oseltamivir induced, hence it was stopped since. Patient had asymptomatic bradycardia hence no medication was administered for it. Just withdrawal of Oseltamivir resulted in gradually improvement in heart rate. Later patient was discharged on 4th day of admission in a hemodynamically stable condition.
