I am interested in nature of shicimic acid and what is it used for. What is its role in antiviral drug tamiflu? Does shikimic acid work synergistically with oseltamivir phosphate? I have never heard about shimic acid’s antiviral action. I need more informations about these two ingredients of tamifllu?
