Feminism is a multi-disciplinary approach to sex and gender equality understood through social theories and political activism.

Antiviral medication doesnât work against most pneumonias, but it may be helpful if flu or herpes viruses cause your pneumonia. Your doctor may prescribe them if your condition is diagnosed early. Itâs important to understand that antibiotics will not treat viral pneumonia, because a virus, not bacteria, causes it.
The antiviral medicines oseltamivir and zanamivir are used to prevent and treat influenza A and B infections. They can reduce the severity and shorten the duration of flu symptoms. Amantadine and rimantadine have been used to help prevent and treat the flu caused by influenza A (but not influenza B) infection. But for the past few years the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has advised doctors not to use amantadine or rimantadine to treat or prevent the flu. 5 These medicines have not worked against most types of the flu virus.
