Oscillococcinum has been shown in clinical trials to help reduce the severity and shorten the duration of flu symptoms. Oscillococcinum works rapidly, with 63 percent of patients showing “clear improvement” at 48 hours.1 In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial, the recovery rate within 48 hours of treatment was significantly greater in the group that received the active drug than in the placebo group.2
