ntiviral drugs inhibit viral replication rather than directly killing or destroying viruses. Their antiviral mechanisms include: (1) preventing viral attachment to host cells; (2) blocking viral entry into host cells; (3) inhibiting viral nucleic acid replication to suppress viral proliferation; (4) inhibiting viral protein synthesis; (5) inducing host cells to produce antiviral proteins that suppress the replication of various viruses; and (6) interfering with viral release from host cells.
Therapeutic monitoring of multiple antiviral drugs can improve treatment efficacy, reduce the risk of adverse drug reactions, and provide valuable data for the diagnosis and management of drug toxicity.
