Oscillococcinum is Boiron's homeopathic flu remedy: tiny sweet pellets that dissolve under the tongue, sold in 30 single doses for adults and children age 2 and up. Boiron says to take one dose at the first sign of flu-like symptoms and repeat up to three times a day. It is non-drowsy and has no known drug interactions, which is why some households keep it on hand. The catch is the evidence: independent reviews of the clinical trials, including a Cochrane review, found no good proof that it works better than placebo, and the pellets are a highly diluted preparation with no active drug. Rivals in this niche are other homeopathic flu products and conventional over-the-counter symptom relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, which have measurable effects but their own limits and warnings.

Buyers who like homeopathy rate it highly and say it shortens or softens flu-like symptoms when taken early. Skeptics and some users report no noticeable effect, and medical reviewers question the evidence behind it.
