What is Antiviral Treatments for Respiratory Viruses about?

This document discusses antiviral treatments for respiratory viruses like influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It notes that currently, all influenza strains are resistant to the M2 inhibitors amantadine and rimantadine. There are 4 approved neuraminidase inhibitors for influenza: oseltamivir, laninamivir, peramivir, and zanamivir, which work best if started within 24-48 hours of symptoms. Aerosolized ribavirin is approved to treat RSV but is generally only used for high-risk groups.
