What is Amantadine?

Amantadine is an antiviral drug that is used to treat Parkinson’s Disease as well as symptoms such as stiffness or tremors, shaking, and repetitive uncontrolled muscle movements that may be caused by the use of certain medications. It can be used alone or with other medications such as levodopa to treat Parkison’s Disease. Amantadine controls these symptoms by blocking NMDA receptors in your body, which raises dopamine levels in the brain.

It is also used to prevent or treat influenza A in adults and children. It works against influenza A by interfering with viral replication which prevents the virus from spreading. Treatment for influenza A should be started within 24 to 48 hours of the onset of symptoms and continued for 24 to 48 hours after the symptoms have resolved.

It is important not to suddenly stop taking amantadine as it can cause symptoms such as high fever, tachycardia, muscle rigidity, and altered mental status. Instead, you should cut the dose in half for 1 week before stopping.
