  • Overview

    What’s the difference between a neuraminidase inhibitor and an endonuclease inhibitor? That’s what this activity will explore, in addition to how this new endonuclease inhibitor works, if it’s for everyone, and which biologic pathways and related MOAs for antiviral agents are effective against influenza A and B.

    Since the launch of the activity, the US FDA has approved a new indication for baloxavir marboxil to include the treatment of acute, uncomplicated influenza in people 12 years of age and older who have been symptomatic for no more than 48 hours, who are otherwise healthy, or who are at high risk of developing flu-related complications
