Anti-Viral and Antibiotic Drugs

Viruses are small infectious pathogens that only grow and multiply inside an organism's live cells. Viruses contain receptors that allow them to adhere to your body's healthy (host) cells. A virus can multiply after it adheres to and penetrates a host cell (make copies of itself). The virus infects additional healthy cells once the host cell dies. Antiviral drugs aid the body's defence against viruses. The medications can help to alleviate symptoms and minimise the duration of a viral illness. Antivirals also reduce the chances of contracting or spreading viruses like herpes and HIV. Antiviral medications have varying effects based on the drug and the infection. Antiviral drugs are not required for the majority of viruses to heal. Antivirals are prescribed by doctors to treat viral infections that are persistent or life-threatening.

Antibiotics are antibiotics that are used to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. They work by either killing germs or making it difficult for them to grow and multiply. They include a variety of potent medications that are used to treat bacteria-related diseases. Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections such as the common cold, flu, and most coughs. Only specific bacterial infections, such as strep throat, urinary tract infections, and E. coli, are treated with antibiotics. Some doctors are concerned that patients are using antibiotics excessively. They also believe that this abuse contributes to an increase in the number of bacterial illnesses that are resistant to antibiotics. Outpatient antibiotic misuse, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a special issue.
