To which group of medicines does the influenza medicine RELENZA belong?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Neuraminidase inhibitors
💡 Explanation:
Relenza (zanamivir) belongs to the neuraminidase inhibitor class of antiviral drugs, which work by blocking the neuraminidase enzyme that viruses need to spread. This is the correct mechanism of action for influenza treatment. Analgesics are pain relievers, while anabolic stimulants are performance enhancers - neither describes Relenza's action.
