Amantadine, sold under the brand name Gocovri among others, is a medication used to treat dyskinesia associated with parkinsonism and influenza caused by type A influenzavirus, though its use for the latter is no longer recommended because of widespread drug resistance.[7][8] It is also used for a variety of other uses. The drug is taken by mouth.

Amantadine has a mild side effect profile. Common neurological side effects include drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, and confusion.[9] Because of its effects on the central nervous system, it should be combined cautiously with additional central nervous system stimulants or anticholinergic drugs. Given that it is cleared by the kidneys, amantadine is contraindicated in persons with end stage kidney disease.[5] Due to its anticholinergic effects, it should be taken with caution by those with enlarged prostates or glaucoma.[10]

The pharmacology of amantadine is complex.[11][12] It acts as a sigma σ1 receptor agonist, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor negative allosteric modulator, dopaminergic agent, and weak NMDA receptor antagonist, among other actions.[11][12] The precise mechanism of action of its therapeutic effects in the treatment of central nervous system disorders is unclear.[11][12] The antiviral mechanism of action is inhibition of the influenza virus A M2 proton channel, which prevents endosomal escape (i.e., the release of viral genetic material into the host cytoplasm).[13][14] Amantadine is an adamantane derivative and is related to memantine and rimantadine.[15]

Amantadine was first used for the treatment of influenza A.[11] After its antiviral properties were initially reported in 1963, amantadine received approval for prophylaxis against the influenza virus A in 1966.[11][16] In 1968, its antiparkinsonian effects were serendipitously discovered.[11] In 1973, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved amantadine for use in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.[11] In 2020, the extended-release formulation was approved for use in the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia.[11][17]
