Amantadine (Symmeterel)
 
Our original pharmaceutical quality Amantadine, brand name Symmetrel, is a unique treatment for many influenza’s, and is also being used as an aid to Parkinson’s patients. As well as being used as an anti-Parkinson agent, interestingly Amanatadine is also used in the battle against bird-flu and SARS. Whilst supplies of bird-flu treatments such as Tamiflu are in short supply, medicines such as Amantadine are a very useful and effective choice.
Safety
Amantadine may enhance the adverse effects of antimuscarinics and the dose of these drugs should be reduced when used with Amantadine. If combined with the classic Parkinson's drug Sinemet, then the adverse effects of L-dopa may be exacerbated. It is also recommended that Amantadine should be used with caution if combined with drugs with CNS stimulant properties, particularly those that may enhance dopamine. Furthermore, the rate of excretion of Amantadine may be reduced by drugs that raise urinary pH. Persons taking prescription medication and pregnant or lactating women should consult a physician before using this product. Long-term use of this product should be supervised and monitored by a health care professional.
Dosage
In Parkinson's the treatment is usually started with 100mg. daily, increasing to 100mg. twice daily after a week or more.
