Amantadine HCl is an antiviral medication that is also used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and certain movement disorders caused by certain psychiatric drugs. It works by blocking the actions of viruses in your body, and it also affects certain chemicals in the nervous system that may help improve movement disorders.
Amantadine HCl may interact with several other medications, which can affect how it works or increase the risk of serious side effects. It is important to keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist.
Some products that may interact with Amantadine HCl include anticholinergic drugs (such as scopolamine, certain antihistamines like diphenhydramine), certain drugs used for bladder control (such as oxybutynin, tolterodine), other drugs that can cause drowsiness (including alcohol, marijuana, drugs for sleep or anxiety such as alprazolam, zolpidem, muscle relaxants, and narcotic pain relievers such as codeine).
Amantadine HCl can also interact with certain medications for mental/mood conditions (such as antipsychotics, antidepressants), certain medications for high blood pressure (such as beta blockers like metoprolol, calcium channel blockers like diltiazem), and certain medications for stomach/intestinal diseases (such as drugs for acid reflux, ulcers).
Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval. If you are taking other drugs that cause drowsiness such as opioid pain or cough relievers (such as codeine, hydrocodone), alcohol, marijuana, drugs for sleep or anxiety (such as alprazolam, lorazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants (such as carisoprodol, cyclobenzaprine), or antihistamines (such as cetirizine, diphenhydramine), the risk of drowsiness may be increased.
It is also important to note that Amantadine HCl can cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.
The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Before using Amantadine HCl, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).
Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using Amantadine HCl safely.
This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Therefore, before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.

Amantadine HCl 100 mg/ml Oral Liquid (Gluten Free) is a specially formulated medication that works by influencing the actions of certain chemicals in the body, particularly a substance called dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a chemical that nerves use to communicate with one another. Amantadine has antiviral and antiparkinsonian properties, meaning it can be used to treat both viral infections and symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
When used as an antiviral, Amantadine inhibits the replication of certain viruses, specifically the Influenza A virus. It does this by blocking the action of a viral protein, preventing the virus from releasing its genetic material into the host cell. This stops the virus from multiplying and spreading, helping to control the infection.
As an antiparkinsonian agent, Amantadine works by increasing the amount of dopamine in the brain. Parkinson's disease is associated with low levels of dopamine, and by increasing these levels, Amantadine can help reduce the symptoms of the disease, such as stiffness, shaking, and difficulty with movement.
The oral liquid formulation of Amantadine HCl is particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules. This can include children, the elderly, or individuals with certain medical conditions. The liquid formulation allows for accurate dosing and is easy to ingest, making it a convenient option for these patients.
It's important to note that while Amantadine can help manage symptoms of Parkinson's disease and control Influenza A virus infections, it is not a cure for either condition. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
