Question

why antibiotics are ineffective against viruses

Answer 1

bcoz they are made up for bacterial disease or for killing bacteria not viral disease

Answer 2

Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses because antibiotics affect certain metabolic pathways that take place in bacteria not in virus. Like the first antibiotic penicillin inhibits the formation of cell wall in bacteria that results in the slow death of bacteria. As virus does not have any cell wall and cellular organelles or pathways to affect on, so, antibiotics are not effective in killing them.
