	Antiviral drug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used specifically for treating viral infections.
		Most of the antivirals now available are designed to help deal with HIV; herpesvirus, which are best known for causing cold sores but actually cover a wide range of diseases; and the hepatitis B and C viruses, which can cause liver cancer.
		Two drugs named zanamivir and oseltamivir that have been recently introduced to treat influenza prevent the release of viral particles by blocking a molecule named neuraminidase that is found on the surface of flu viruses, and also seems to be constant across a wide range of flu strains.

	Antiviral drugs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Antiviral drugs are medicines that cure or control virus infections.
		Antivirals are used to treat infections caused by viruses.
		Antiviral drugs are available only with a physician's prescription and are sold in capsule, tablet, liquid, ointment, and injectable forms.

	Antiviral Drugs for Flu - Antiviral Herbs
		All of the antiviral drugs are different in terms of who can take them, how they are given, any dosing changes based on age or medical conditions, and side effects.
		Antiviral drugs are most often used to control flu outbreaks in institutions, for example in nursing homes, or in hospital wards, where people at high risk (see below) for complications from flu are in close contact with each other.
		The anti-influenza antiviral drugs are not a substitute for vaccine and are used only as an adjunct to vaccine in the control of influenza.

	Influenza Antiviral Drugs and Related Information
		After the vaccine and antiviral drug links, there is a list of web sites that provide additional influenza information from United States government agencies and the World Health Organization, and a list of contacts for further inquiries.
		Antiviral drugs can also help to reduce the time it takes for symptoms to improve in uncomplicated illness caused by influenza virus.
		Use of antiviral drugs does not eliminate the risk of complications, and some complications (as well as other medical conditions that could be confused with influenza) can be life-threatening.

	Prevention of Viral Diseases, Vaccines and Antiviral Drugs
		Antiviral drugs are not widely used, in veterinary medicine.
		Interferons and antiviral drugs are used for the specific treatment of viral diseases.
		These antivirals are not commonly used in the U.S. Saquinavir (Invirase), indinavir (Crixivan), ritonavir (Norvir), and nelfinavir (Viracept) are inhibitors of viral proteases.

		However, the manufacturer cautions, the small size of the registry is insufficient to evaluate the risk for less common defects or to permit reliable or definitive conclusions regarding the safety of acyclovir in pregnant women and their developing fetuses.
		The American Academy of Pediatrics has classified salicylate as a drug "for which the effect on nursing infants is unknown but may be of concern" [G3].
		Therefore, it is not recommended that the drug be given to pregnant patients except when, in the judgment of the physician, it is essential.

		Antivirals are fast becoming the drugs of the 21st century.
		Another 60 antivirals have begun clinical trials, aimed primarily at HIV, the virus that can lead to AIDS, and hepatitis B and C. Also in the works: an oral pill to prevent smallpox (thereby disabling a terror weapon) and a drug to treat SARS.
		(Drugs for the flu already are available.) Sales of antivirals will total $10.6 billion this year, less than half the size of the market for antibiotics ($24 billion), but antivirals could approach $14 billion in three years, says market research firm Business Communications.

	Old World Aviaries: Antiviral drugs
		Another reason antivirals were late in development is that the technology to dissect and understand the molecular biology of viruses had to be developed.
		The main reason we cannot develop antiviral drugs or mass produce the vaccine is that we cannot grow the virus in vitro, meaning to grow the virus in the test tube.
		Antiviral drugs will continue to become more important and vital agents in medicine, and I am excited about the prospects for development of antivirals in avian medicine.

	Flu Drugs, NIAID Fact Sheet
		The drug manufacturers recommend daily doses for using amantadine and rimantadine to treat and prevent the flu in different age groups.
		In 1999, FDA approved two additional drugs to fight the flu: Relenza (zanamivir) and Tamiflu (oseltamivir), the first of a new class of antiviral drugs called neuraminidase inhibitors.
		All four drugs are available by prescription only, and it is best to consult with your health care provider to determine what drug might be best for you.

		The Antiviral Drugs Advisory Committee on February 28, 1996 also unanimously recommended that ddI (Videx) be indicated as a first-line treatment for HIV infection.
		Increasingly, researchers and physicians are relying on viral load tests to determine patients' disease stage, to predict clinical outcome and to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy for HIV infection.

		WINNIPEG — Federal officials drawing up Canada's pandemic influenza response plan estimate the country would need about 222 million doses of a critical antiviral drug to treat and protect key groups of people in the first wave of a mild to moderate flu pandemic.
		One of the drafters of the plan said Tuesday the starting assumption is that there will not be enough of the drug, sold under the brand name Tamiflu, to go around.

		Return to very low viral load levels, such as 5,000, may not always warrant changing therapy, but should signal a need for close observation and more frequent viral load testing to determine whether resistance is beginning to develop.
