Question

Why is making anti-viral medicine harder than antibacterial medicines.​

Answer 1

It is difficult to make antiviral medicines than making antibiotics because viruses have few biochemical mechanisms of their own. They enter the host cells and use their machinery for their life processes. So, antiviral medicines will work against the host body.

Making of antiviral medicines is more difficult than making of anti bacterial drugs because:

• viruses are non living entity that have few biochemical mechanisms of their own.

• they use our cellular machinery by entering our cells that can harm us for their life.
• viruses have no any biochemical means.
