Question

why is it difficult to make anti viral medicines

Answer 1

hi

Antiviral medicines are a class of medication used specifically for treating viral infection rather than bacterial ones. Most antivirals are used for specific viral infections, while a broad-spectrum antiviral is effective against a wide range of viruses.Unlike most antibiotics, antiviral drugs do not destroy their target pathogens; instead they inhibit their development.

Most antivirals are considered relatively harmless to the host, and therefore can be used to treat infection. They should be distinguished from verified which are not medication but deactivate or destroy virus particles, either inside or outside the body.

hope it is helpful to you

Answer 2

Medicines such as antibiotics have chemical compounds which block the biochemical pathways of disease-causing agents. So, they affect the pathogens without affecting us. But , viruses do not have biochemical processes of their own. They enter the host's body and use its biochemical machinery for its life processes. So, even if a antibiotic was engineered to combat viruses, it would mean affecting us. Even if there was no problem in doing so, viruses change their coat proteins frequently, thus protecting them from the exterior world. So, it is very difficult to make antiviral medicines.
