WHAT CAN VIRAL DRUGS DO FOR ME?

Over the course of the last 50 years, medicine has taken on a whole new outlook. As doctors and researchers have explored the mechanisms of viral infections and probed the etiologies of illnesses, their approach to fighting sickness has been more and more directed at the root of what ails us. In many cases, it turns out to be viruses.

Every year, more and more drugs are put on the market that are geared toward winning the battle against the raging viruses of our time. This page is designed to be a reference carrying the primary drugs used to treat viral infections. On the index page, these drugs are indexed in three ways. They are grouped according to the illness which they fight against, they are alphabetized by their brand, or generic, name, and they are alphabetized by their active drug agent name.

Each entry relates a description of the drug, its mechanism of action, indications, contraindications, precautions, usage, and carries a picture if one was available. It is intended as a resource for any who are interested in exactly how it is we are waging the war on viruses.
