Amantadine

Uses

Amantadine is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

How it Works

How Amantadine Works Amantadine is a dopamine agonist used to treat Parkinson's disease. It functions by increasing the levels of dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that regulates body movements. Additionally, it possesses antiviral properties.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Amantadine include constipation, hallucinations, dryness in the mouth, fainting, dizziness, hypotension (low blood pressure), edema (swelling), and delusions.

Expert Advice

  • It can be taken with or without food.
  • It may cause blurred vision or affect mental abilities.
  • Do not drive or engage in activities requiring concentration until you understand how it affects you.
  • To reduce the risk of dizziness or fainting, rise slowly after sitting or lying down.
  • Do not take extra medicine to compensate for a missed dose, as this may increase the risk of seizures.
  • Consult your doctor if you have a history of seizures or are currently taking medication for seizures.
  • Inform your doctor if you experience an urge to gamble, increased sexual urges, binge eating, or uncontrolled spending.
  • Do not discontinue the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor.
