Amantadine Hydrochloride 100 mg Capsules 100 Count (Rx)

Amantadine Hydrochloride 100mg capsules are used to prevent and treat influenza A virus infections in adults. It may also be used to prevent or improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease and to treat complications of Parkinson's disease and certain movement disorders caused by certain medications. This medication works by stopping the growth of the influenza A virus and by improving the communication between certain nerve cells in the brain that control movement. It may help to reduce tremor, stiffness, and slowness of movement in people with Parkinson's disease.

Amantadine is used to prevent or treat a certain type of flu (influenza A). If you have been infected with the flu, this medication may help make your symptoms less severe and shorten the time it will take you to get better. Taking amantadine if you have been or will be exposed to the flu may help to prevent you from getting the flu. This medication is an antiviral that is believed to work by stopping growth of the flu virus. This medication is not a vaccine. To increase the chance that you will not get the flu, it is important to get a flu shot once a year at the beginning of every flu season, if possible. Based on the recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the US, amantadine should not be used to treat or prevent influenza A because the current influenza A virus in the United States and Canada is resistant to this medication. For more details, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Amantadine is also used to treat Parkinson's disease, as well as side effects caused by drugs (e.g., drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms), chemicals, other medical conditions. In these cases, this medication may help to improve your range of motion and ability to exercise. For the treatment of these conditions, amantadine is believed to work by restoring the balance of natural chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.
