Answer to Question 2

Explanation: A protease inhibitor keeps a virus from successfully reproducing by inhibiting protease, a protein the virus needs to reproduce. An antihistamine blocks the effects of histamine released during an allergic reaction. A corticosteroid is a very strong anti-inflammatory. An immunosuppressant blocks certain actions of the immune system.
