Abstract
Neuropsychiatric consequences of ostelamivir use have been reported worldwide. These include depression, mania, and exacerbation of symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. We report a case of ostelamivir induced mania in a 23-year-old young male patient, who recovered subsequently with treatment with antipsychotics. Given that the prescription of ostelamivir is now becoming more widespread, we recommend that clinicians be mindful about this possible side effect.
