Examples of antiviral in a Sentence

1. Richard Schutzer:

   The best defense is a good offense, so as I said it’s not too late to get the vaccine yet, in addition, if you do have flu symptoms, let your doctor know. If they know within the first 48 hours there are several antiviral medications that they can start you on that not only decreases the duration of the disease, but also decreases severity of it.

2. Tom Inglesby:

   Right now, we have a number of existing channels around that -- people can talk to their physicians and get testing and treatment through state or jurisdictional efforts -- but it was clear that many people don't have easy access to a health care provider, we've launched the test-to-treat initiative, which will allow people to be tested and seen by a health care provider and then get prescribed antiviral medications all in one place, which will make it much easier, much faster for people who need therapy the most to get on treatment quickly.

3. Lawrence Blatt:

   With the Novira acquisition we have the lead direct antiviral in the world for HBV, if we can in the same time we're giving direct antivirals and blocking( virus) replication, activate the immune system and wake it up, maybe we can cause patients to clear HBV.

4. Daniel Griffin:

   More recently, The Results have come out -- it was a really landmark paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine -- showing that if you give remdesivir in the first five days, during the acute viral phase, before you wait for the door to close, you could prevent progression by almost 90 %. It was 87 % in that study. So remdesivir actually can be a very effective antiviral if you give it at the right time in the right patient, if we can extend this down to children and actually give it to them during the critical time when it can make the biggest difference, finally, we're really opening up more options, because these kids don't have a lot of options.

5. Maria Nagel:

   If she'd had cold sores, it would have been obvious, most people don't think of HSV-1 as the potential cause of burning mouth syndrome, so they don't test for it. But it's easily treatable with antiviral medication.
