Should i take an antiviral drug during a pandemic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably.: If you are already sick and it has been less than 48 hours since the onset of symptoms, an antiviral drug may help by Keeping you from getting seriously ill, or helping you feel better faster. If you have been exposed, an antiviral drug may be about 70 percent to 90 percent effective in preventing the illness.
