Anti-Viral Drugs are medicines that
cure or control virus infections.
Purpose
Anti-Virals are used to treat infections caused by viruses. Several
different drugs in the Anti-Viral family exist, and each is used for
specific kinds of viral infections.
Other types of anti-viral drugs, such as Amantadine and Rimantadine are
used to prevent or treat certain kinds of Influenza (Flu). They are given
either alone or in combination with flu shots. These drugs will not work for
common colds, other types of flu, or other virus infections, however.
Description
Rather than killing the viruses, Anti-Viral Drugs block steps in the
process through which viruses reproduce. Some may also stimulate the immune
system so that the body can fight the viruses itself.
Anti-viral drugs are available only with a physician's prescription and are
sold in capsule, tablet, liquid, ointment, and injectable forms.
