One resource that is great to use when you have a question about something's effectiveness is the Cochrane Library. The Cochrane sytematic reviews are regarded as the gold standard of systematic reviews and if you have one on your topic, the clinical research will be sythesized for you and a conclusion provided about the treatment you are investigating.
Try it out with a search for tamiflu or better yet, the generic name of oseltamivir. Additional terms might include adult to make sure you get systematic reviews for that population.
