What Is Xofluza?
Xofluza (baloxavir marboxil) is a prescription medication used to manage acute uncomplicated influenza, and to prevent it after exposure, in patients 5 years and older. It works by inhibiting the cap-dependent endonuclease enzyme that influenza viruses need to replicate, blocking viral reproduction at a distinct step from older antivirals. With the right dose taken within 48 hours of symptom onset and ongoing care as needed, most patients experience a meaningful reduction in the duration and severity of flu illness.

Is Online Xofluza Treatment Right for You?
Doctronic can evaluate adults 18 and older who are experiencing symptoms of influenza and may be appropriate candidates for Xofluza (baloxavir). Treatment is most effective when started within 48 hours of symptom onset, so prompt evaluation is important.
Because influenza affects the respiratory system and can be complicated by underlying health conditions, your physician will review your medical history, current medications, and any risk factors before prescribing. Patients with severe or complicated flu, or those who are immunocompromised, may require a different level of care.

Frequently asked questions
Xofluza (baloxavir marboxil) is a prescription antiviral that targets the cap-dependent endonuclease enzyme influenza viruses need to copy their genetic material. By blocking this enzyme, Xofluza stops the virus from replicating inside the body. It is taken as a single oral dose and works through a different mechanism than older antivirals like oseltamivir.
Xofluza works best when taken within 48 hours of the first appearance of flu symptoms. Starting treatment early in the course of illness gives the medication the best chance to reduce how long and how severely you feel sick. If more than 48 hours have passed since symptoms began, talk to your physician about whether treatment is still appropriate for you.
Xofluza is approved to treat acute uncomplicated influenza in otherwise healthy people 5 years and older, and in people 12 and older at high risk of flu complications, who have had symptoms for no more than 48 hours. It is also approved to prevent influenza after exposure in people 5 years and older. Patients with complicated or severe flu, or those who are hospitalized, typically need a different treatment approach.
Xofluza is taken as a single oral dose. The dose is weight-based: patients weighing 20 to less than 80 kg take 40 mg, and patients weighing 80 kg or more take 80 mg. Because it is a one-time dose, there is no multi-day course to remember, which can make it easier to complete treatment. Do not take it with dairy, calcium-fortified drinks, antacids or supplements containing calcium, iron, magnesium, or zinc.
The most commonly reported side effects of Xofluza in clinical trials included diarrhea, bronchitis, nausea, nasopharyngitis, and headache. Most side effects were mild to moderate. Contact your physician if you experience severe or unexpected symptoms after taking the medication.
Some products can reduce the effectiveness of Xofluza. Antacids or supplements containing polyvalent cations such as calcium, iron, magnesium, or zinc can bind to baloxavir and lower its absorption. You should avoid taking these products within a few hours of your Xofluza dose. Always tell your prescribing physician about all medications and supplements you are taking.
Yes. Xofluza is an antiviral taken after you already have flu symptoms or after you've been exposed to flu. The flu vaccine is given before the flu season to help prevent infection in the first place. Getting vaccinated annually is still recommended even for people who have been treated for influenza, as the vaccine helps protect against future infection.
Doctronic uses AI-assisted evaluation to gather detailed information about your symptoms and health history, which is then reviewed by a licensed physician. If treatment is appropriate, the physician creates a personalized treatment plan and sends a prescription to your preferred pharmacy. All physicians on the platform are fully licensed, consultations are doctor-reviewed and audited, and the service is HIPAA-aligned to protect your health information.
