Antiviral drugs for influenza are prescription drugs (pills, liquids, inhaled powders or intravenous solutions) that fight influenza viruses in the body. Antiviral drugs are not sold over-the-counter, patients can only buy them with a doctor's prescription. Antiviral drugs are completely different from antibiotics - drugs that fight bacterial infections. However, do not be subjective because there is a cure, the best way to protect your health is to actively prevent influenza viruses.

Influenza viruses cause significant morbidity and mortality in countries around the world. The same treatment regimen for influenza is not always applied to all patients. Accordingly, treatment for influenza is not always carried out at home and many cases require a doctor's visit, especially in high-risk cases.
