The preventative effect only lasts as long as you keep taking the drug on a daily basis. Once you discontinue dosing, the preventative effect wanes. That is from the company website and from the package insert I have in my lap. You are correct about the shelf-life for the tablet form. I was thinking of the oral suspension preparation for pediatric usage. It has a somewhat shorter expiration date and must be used once it is reconstituted.

As far as educating myself before I post, did that already with 12 year of post graduate work, so....

There is one case of daughter-to-mother transmission of bird flu, IIRC

Isn't this one questionable because both had proximity to the animal? That's what I remember seeing, but I could be wrong.

"12 years of post-graduate work -- Kiss My Rebel Ass"

The 12 years doesn't show. Did it really take you that long to get a Master's in Special Education?
