HIV

Antivirals work by targeting specific aspects of viral replication, such as blocking viral enzymes or preventing the virus from entering host cells. This disrupts the virus's ability to replicate, slowing down or halting the infection process.

Antivirals are used to treat viruses.

No. Antivirals work to limit the reproduction of viruses, and antibiotics work to kill bacteria. Antivirals do not kill bacteria, and antibiotics do not kill viruses.

Antivirals are used to treat infections caused by viruses.

Proteins don't treat herpes, antivirals or suppressives treat it.

Bacterial infection. Antivirals are used to combat viral infections.

i think herpes is a virus which would need antivirals.

No it can not be cured but it can be managed by various antivirals such as Valcyclovir, Acyclovir or Famvir.

As a class, the antivirals are not curative, and must be used either prophylactically or early in the development of an infection.

Yes but that means that you have herpes. Once you have herpes you have it for life and the symptoms are generally controlled by antivirals such as Valtrex.

One way is to take antivirals like Valtrex (valcyclovir). This can stop the outbreak if you take it early enough.

No, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are all bacterial infections and won't respond to antivirals.

Depends on the type of disease, antivirals for a virus, antibiotics etc and your own immune system (Antibodies)

Chickenpox is a viral illness that can't be treated with antibiotics meant for bacteria. Antivirals are sometimes used in certain patients.

Because antibiotics are designed to fight bacterial infections, whereas antivirals are used to combat viral infections.

There several ways through which protists can be treated. This will depend on the particular type of protist but the common treatments are using antivirals and antibiotics.

Absolutely NO. Antibiotics are strictly for bacterial infections. Antivirals are used for viruses but do not cure them rather they just inhibit their reproductive abilities.

Antivirals, antibiotics, and corticosteroids are available in liquid. Discuss options with your primary care provider and pharmacist.

People who want to reduce their herpes outbreaks usually take antivirals. The most common is Valtrex (generic is valcyclovir).

Antivirals like acyclovir and valacyclovir ease the symptoms of genital herpes, but there is no cure.

Viruses are nonliving and that fact makes it hard for us to come up with antivirals.

There is no such thing as anti-herpes. I think you may mean antivirals... If so then they can treat other illnesses that are caused by viruses like shingles.

Yes. If you take antivirals, that reduces the shedding of the virus so that your partner's chances of getting infected are lower. You can always do IUI also.

Antibiotics and antivirals are two groups of medicines used by doctors to fight microbes. Antibiotics target bacteria, while antivirals target viruses. Both are vital in treating infectious diseases caused by these different types of microbes.

no, you can't, since vsv is caused by virus, there's no use of using antibiotics. Antibiotics only work to kill bacteria. So, antivirals are the best choice.

yes of course. antibiotics treat only bacterial infections, while the flu is caused by a virus (parainfluenza virus). there are antivirals out there but they wont prevent or cure the flu. most viral illness are self limiting meaning they resolve on their own, so only supportive treatment is needed (fluid, food and meds for fever). the antivirals would only shorten the period of illness and sometimes decrease the severity of the symptoms.

Prostate infection or prostatitis will last if left untreated. The treatment will vary according to the cause, such as when the infection is caused by a bacteria, then antibacterial are ordered. If it's a virus, antivirals are prescribed.

Most oral powders for reconstitution are antibiotics or antivirals to treat infections. They are typically in a dry powder form that needs to be mixed with water before administration.

These sort of deadly illnesses are susceptible to IV high dose Vitamin C 50,000mg several times a day, and IV glutathione. Drugs are ineffective.

It is true that when you get herpes, you have it for life. Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure, just medications. Some treatments include antivirals, oral and topical medications, and more.

Antivirals like acyclovir and valacyclovir treat frequent herpes outbreaks. Avoiding triggers, like sun exosure, high stress, or lack of sleep, can also help.

Viruses are considered to be a serious threat to humans because they are very difficult to control. Very few things can control viruses except antivirals.

It depends on the medicine. Antibiotics and antivirals will fight the cause of the illness. Over-the-counter drugs simply mask symptoms until your body successfully fights the infection off.

Often 2 weeks or more but can last years in some people (called post herpetic neuralgia). In lomng standing pain following shingles specific medications can assist.

You cannot destroy a virus with antibiotics, because antibiotics kill bacteria not viruses. Tamiflu and other meds similar attack the virus, but it is not always successful, as viruses are quick to mutate and become immune to antivirals out there.

Antibiotics kill bacteria. Antivirals kill viruses. However, a patient with a viral infection might sometimes be given antibiotics to reduce the work the patient's defenses have to do or to stop opportunistic infections.

Antimicrobial medicine, such as antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals, is used to treat pathogens or disease-causing microorganisms. These medications target specific types of microorganisms to help the body fight off infections.

It depends on the virus. For many, the only treatment is to wait for them to pass. That is how the human cold is treated for the most part. Just make the patient as comfortable as possible until the virus in question goes away on its own.

For other viruses, there are antivirals. However, these have side-effects and don't eliminate the virus. HIV/AIDS is permanent as far as is currently known. There are antivirals to slow it down and keep it from reproducing as much in the body, but the medicines do not cure the condition.

For some viruses, the idea is to give vaccines so the person doesn't get the virus in the first place.

Only possible by finding an antivirus and giving it to virtually everyone in the world.

(however it will still exist in animals, and resurface).

Many, many kinds of antivirals are possible, but they are very difficult to engineer.

So on the likelihood scale, you'll never be able to get rid of it.

Inorganic pharmaceuticals can be classified based on their applications into antacids, electrolytes, and anticancer agents. Additionally, they can be classified based on therapeutic uses such as antifungals, antivirals, and anti-inflammatories.

medications are the best fight against pneumonia. Antibiotics are used to fight bacterial pneumonia. Antivirals are administered to fight against viral pneumonia since antibiotics will have no effect on them. Administration of a fever reducer can also be given to help reduce the fever in the individual.

If you are at risk for chickenpox, it makes more sense to get a chickenpox vaccine rather than taking acyclovir when caring for a chickenpox patient. Talk with your healthcare provider to be sure that taking antivirals is your best option given your particular medical history.

The increase of resistance to antiviral drugs in HIV is a result of natural selection. The virus mutates, and those mutations that confer resistance to the drugs allow the virus to survive and reproduce, leading to the spread of drug-resistant strains. Over time, this can result in the evolution of drug-resistant HIV strains as they outcompete susceptible strains.

Treatment of genital rash depends on the cause. Viral rashes like herpes are treated with antivirals. Bacterial rashes like folliculitis may use antibiotics. A rash from a protozoal infection like trichononiasis will be treated with metronidazole. See your health care provider for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

A culture is a study in which microorganisms are placed on or in media. This procedure allows the microorganism to be identified and, in some cases, for a sensitivity test to be completed to determine antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals likely to be helpful in treating the infection.

Yes you can but an antiviral should also be used.

Hydrocortisone by itself doesn't do much for cold sores, it's an anti-inflamitory cream. It may help with the symptoms and swelling but antivirals will attack the virus that causes cold sores and fever blisters to help prevent it from reproducing in other cells.

The treatment varies based on the infection.

If it's a bacterial infection, antibiotics are prescribed. Antibiotics work wonders against bacterial infections. They don't do anything against viruses though, but some doctors still prescribe antibiotics for viral conditions like colds and the flu! This is a problem, because giving someone antibiotics when they don't need it allows bacteria to become resistant to that antibiotic. That creates super bugs like MRSA. Anyway, I digress! For bacterial infections, antibiotics are prescribed.

For viral infections... there's not a whole lot that can be done. Antivirals are out there, but as opposed to killing the source, like antibiotics with bacteria, antivirals focus on slowing development of new virus microbes. Think about colds. There's lots of medications that can help manage the symptoms, but there's not really anything that can be done to get rid of the cold itself. Sometimes you have to let these things run their course!
