No, that's on pretty much every over-the-counter drug. Check a packet of paracetemol, you'll see the same phrase or similar. WëäŝëïöïďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 18:58, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Given that Joseph Roy invented Oscillococcinum to combat viral diseases caused by a non-existent "bacterium," which is just confusing and wrong, it's also only fitting that the affirmative health claim goes from "Reduces the Duration and Severity of Flu Symptoms" on the front of the package to the only slightly more modest "Reduces the duration and severity of flu-like symptoms" on the back.
