Final answer:

Zovirax (acyclovir) and Tamiflu (oseltamivir) are drugs used to treat viral disorders by inhibiting their development.

Step-by-step explanation:

Antivirals have been developed to treat genital herpes (herpes simplex II) and influenza. One such drug is Zovirax, also known as acyclovir, which can reduce the number and duration of episodes of active viral disease. It works by inhibiting viral DNA replication, leading to the termination of the growing DNA chain. Another drug is Tamiflu (oseltamivir), which inhibits the spread of the influenza virus by blocking the actions of an enzyme called viral neuraminidase.
