Anti-Viral Drug Resistance and Clinical Challenges
One of the major challenges in antiviral therapy is drug resistance. Viruses mutate rapidly, and genetic changes can reduce drug effectiveness.
Resistance often develops when treatment is inconsistent or incomplete. Combination therapy is sometimes used to reduce resistance risk by targeting multiple viral mechanisms.
Monitoring resistance patterns helps guide treatment decisions. Ongoing research aims to develop drugs with higher resistance barriers.
Managing resistance is critical to maintaining long-term treatment success.
