Rimantadine
fluenza drugs are antiviral medicines used to prevent and treat infections caused by influenza viruses, particularly influenza A and B. They work by inhibiting viral replication, preventing the release of newly formed viral particles, or interfering with essential viral enzymes. These medicines can help reduce the severity and duration of flu symptoms when administered early in the course of infection. They are particularly important for individuals at increased risk of influenza-related complications, including elderly patients, young children, and people with underlying medical conditions. Common anti-influenza medicines include oseltamivir, zanamivir, peramivir, and baloxavir.
