English term or phrase: antiviral drug
Definition from Britannica:
(n.) Any agent that is used in the treatment of an infectious disease caused by a virus. Unlike most antibiotics, antiviral drugs do not destroy their target pathogen; instead they inhibit their development. They should be distinguished from viricides, which are not medication but deactivate or destroy virus particles, either inside or outside the body.

Example sentence(s):
  • One of the most promising antiviral drugs for Ebola got quick NIH approval for testing on COVID-19 patients. OnHealth

Ci sono varie tipologie di questi farmaci, a seconda del tipo di virus su cui si vuole agire:

Example sentence(s):
  • Gli antivirali agiscono – con azione che può essere sia terapeutica, sia preventiva – inibendo una delle fasi del ciclo replicativo del virus. - Humanitas  
  • I farmaci antivirali sono utilizzati per la prevenzione e il trattamento delle infezioni influenzali e rivestono pertanto un ruolo fondamentale anche nel trattamento e nella profilassi dei soggetti esposti al virus A (H1N1). Attualmente sono disponibili quattro principi attivi con attività antivirale. Questi appartengono a due classi di farmaci antivirali: i bloccanti dei canali ionici M2 (amantadina e rimantadina) e gli inibitori delle neuraminidasi (oseltamivir e zanamivir). - AIFA - Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco  
  • La famiglia dei farmaci antivirali comprende tutte quelle molecole, anche molto diverse tra loro, che servono a contrastare la moltiplicazione dei virus patogeni all’interno dell’organismo, e quindi a curare le infezioni da essi causate. - Sapere Salute
