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.
