Question 1 of 5
All of the following antiviral drugs are anti-influenza agents, EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Acyclovir is an antiviral drug used to treat herpes infections, not influenza. Amantadine and Rimantadine are anti-influenza agents that target the influenza A virus. Interferons are proteins that help the immune system fight viruses, including influenza. Therefore, the correct answer is A (Acyclovir) because it is not used specifically to treat influenza infections.
