Expert

Verified

Antibacterial drugs, potent against a huge variety of bacteria, are not effectual against viruses that are intracellular parasites. A viral infection is tricky to treat because anti-viral drugs are too particular and have imperfect efficiency. In general the anti-viral drugs decrease the viral load (number of the virus) relieving symptoms. The anti-viral (and anti-retroviral, drugs which act against RNA virals) frequently inhibit the action of specific enzymes which participate in virus life cycle.
