This
has been an especially deadly flu season here in the U.S., but a new
breakthrough medication promises to kill the flu virus in 24 hours. The
catch: It’s only available in Japan.
On Friday, officials in Japan approved the single-dose drug, known as Xofluza, for use in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.
In a clinical trial, Japanese and American patients who took the drug
when they had the flu saw the virus wiped out, on average, in 24 hours.
