Antiviral medications, such as acyclovir or oseltamivir, work by disrupting the ability of viruses to reproduce in the body. They target specific steps in the viral replication process, preventing the virus from multiplying and spreading. These medications are commonly used to treat viral infections like herpes, influenza, and HIV.

What type of medicine keels viruses from reproducing?
Antiviral medications are designed to inhibit the replication of viruses within the body, thus preventing them from reproducing. These medications work by targeting specific aspects of the viral life cycle to stop the infection from spreading.
A medicine that stops a virus from reproducing?
Antiviral medications work by inhibiting the virus's ability to replicate within the body. These drugs target specific steps in the virus's life cycle, such as viral entry, replication, or release. By preventing the virus from replicating, the infection is contained, allowing the immune system to eliminate the virus from the body.
How are viruses harmful to living cells?
