here is your answer OK
Drugs work by disrupting siecfic biological processes, in most cases by interacting with specific proteins (a few antibiotics work generally on membranes). Bacterial proteins and processes have nothing to do with viruses.
For example, a number of antibiotics interfere with the production of bacterial cell walls. Viruses hijack host cells, which don’t have walls.
In fact, because viruses work by hijacking host cells, any antibiotic with antiviral activity would probably be unacceptably toxic. The few effective antiviral work by targeting key viral proteins.
