Abstract

Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used for treating viral infections [1]. Most antivirals target specific viruses, while a broad-spectrum antiviral is effective against a wide range of viruses [2]. Antiviral drugs are a class of antimicrobials, a larger group which also includes antibiotic (also termed antibacterial), antifungal and antiparasitic drugs or antiviral drugs based on monoclonal antibodies [3, 4] Most antivirals are considered relatively harmless to the host, and therefore can be used to treat infections. They should be distinguished from virucides, which are not medication but deactivate or destroy virus particles, either inside or outside the body. Natural virucides are produced by some plants such as eucalyptus and Australian tea trees [5, 6].
