of antiviral drugs?

antibiotics are not effective on viral infections...anti
viral drugs are narrow in spectrum and have limited efficacy

prevention of further growth they immediatly prescribe
antibiotics.........

after testing if it is viral infection they will
automatically prescribe antiviral drugs...........
