Health authorities are wasting antiviral drugs on a "mild" form of swine flu that may be needed if the strain becomes more aggressive next year, two experts say.

The director of the Austin Hospital's infectious diseases department, Lindsay Grayson, and his deputy Paul Johnson said if the current strain of swine flu developed resistance to Tamiflu because of its early, widespread use, it would be a "nightmare scenario" that would leave medicos with "few treatment options".

Swine flu's spread could have been slowed with better testing guidelines and more efficient use of laboratory facilities, the pair said in an article in the online version of the Medical Journal of Australia, Fairfax newspapers reported on Thursday .

Victorian guidelines that asked doctors to test only people who had returned from overseas or had close contact with a proven case were the "opposite of what should have occurred", they said.
