Favipiravir is an oral antiviral drug used in the treatment of influenza (flu) in adults and children. It is a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that targets both influenza virus and the flu-causing ‘viral proteins’. The virus in the seasonal influenza is different from that of the avian flu. Therefore, while treating seasonal influenza, favipiravir will not work as well as Tamiflu or Relenza (neuraminidase inhibitors). But, it is effective in the treatment of avian flu. One major advantage of this drug is that it is safe even for people with underlying diseases. This is because it is not a neuraminidase inhibitor but a guanylate-synthetase inhibitor. This oral medicine is has to be taken daily for a short period of time, unlike Tamiflu that has to be taken twice a day for 10 days. Get here, vintagepotshirts.com.
