  • Description

    Amantadine sulfate exerts its effects through two main mechanisms. First, as an antiviral agent, it inhibits the M2 protein of the influenza A virus, blocking the ion channel essential for viral replication. This action prevents the acidification required for the viral core to release its RNA into the host cell. Second, in the context of Parkinson's disease, amantadine enhances the release of dopamine and inhibits its reuptake, which helps improve motor function and alleviate symptoms. Overall, amantadine is effective in treating both viral infections and movement disorders by modulating viral activity and dopamine levels.
