Summary

This trial is testing oseltamivir, a flu medication, to see if it can help adults with a condition that affects blood platelets. Oseltamivir is commonly used to reduce the duration of flu symptoms. The goal is to find out if oseltamivir can improve platelet function with fewer side effects than current treatments. If successful, this could lead to better long-term health outcomes for these patients.
