Tips for searching

Think of synonyms for the same concept and combine them with OR e.g. (oseltamivir OR Tamiflu)
Also consider using subject headings or MESH terms in your search e.g. "influenza, human"[MeSH Terms]
Combine multiple concepts with AND e.g. ((oseltamivir OR Tamiflu) AND ("influenza, human"[MeSH Terms] OR influenza))
