About COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Antiviral Agents.

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) antiviral agents constitute a functional therapeutic class of direct-acting antimicrobial drugs designed to treat infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

These medications exert their therapeutic role by selectively disrupting essential stages of viral replication, primarily through the inhibition of viral proteases such as the 3C-like protease or the termination of viral RNA synthesis via RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibition.

Clinically, these agents are utilized to manage acute COVID-19, functioning to accelerate clinical recovery and substantially reduce the risks of disease progression, hospitalization, and death in both outpatient and hospitalized populations at high risk for severe illness.
