Antiviral Drugs

Antiviral Drugs and Nanomedicine

  Viruses are difficult to treat as they do not show any signs of life outside a living cell. Antiviral drugs do not target viruses directly. Instead, they work by stopping the reproduction of viruses. This is achieved by stopping the viruses from entering into a host cell or interfering with the virus once inside the host cell. Great care must be taken not damage the host cells another cells of an infected person. Also many antiviral drugs are only partially effective and for some viral diseases, such as Ebola, there are no antiviral drugs available.
