Descriptor amantadina
Scope note: Antivírico que se utiliza en la profilaxis o tratamiento sintomático de la gripe por influenza A. Se utiliza también como agente antiparkinsoniano, para tratar reacciones extrapiramidales, y para la neuralgia postherpética. No están bien comprendidos los mecanismos de sus efectos en los trastornos cinéticos pero reflejan probablemente un aumento en la síntesis y liberación de dopamina, con quizá una cierta inhibición de la recaptación de dopamina.

Scope note: An antiviral that is used in the prophylactic or symptomatic treatment of influenza A. It is also used as an antiparkinsonian agent, to treat extrapyramidal reactions, and for postherpetic neuralgia. The mechanisms of its effects in movement disorders are not well understood but probably reflect an increase in synthesis and release of dopamine, with perhaps some inhibition of dopamine uptake.
