In the case of prophylactic use of oseltamivir, it may be possible to discontinue the treatment, especially if you feel unwell after taking the drug. However, it is worth making a decision in consultation with a doctor, who will individually assess whether the risk associated with discontinuing the treatment is lower than the potential side effects.
Oseltamivir alone should not have a significant effect on general anaesthesia, but you should always tell your doctor performing the procedure about all the medicines you are taking.
