Better Known as: Relenza
- Marketed By: GlaxoSmithKline
- Major Indication: Influenza Infection
- Drug Class: Neuraminidase Inhibitor
- Date of FDA Approval (Patent Expiration): 1999 (2016)
- 2009 Sales:$1.1 Billion
- Importance: It was the first neuraminidase inhibitor to be approved by the FDA, followed a few months later by Oseltamivir. Newer strains of flu virus, primarily H1N1, have developed varying levels of resistance to Oseltamivir, but a lesser extent to Zanamivir. Sales have increased dramatically since 2006 with scares of bird flu and swine flu pandemics.
