Amantadine Hydrochloride, also known as 1-adamantanamine hydrochloride, is an antiviral and anti-Parkinson's medication. It is a synthetic compound and a derivative of adamantane, a type of cyclic hydrocarbon. It is used to treat and prevent the flu caused by influenza A viruses and is also used as an adjunct therapy in the management of Parkinson's disease. Amantadine Hydrochloride works by inhibiting the replication of the virus and by blocking the action of dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in movement and control of muscle tone. It is available in tablet, capsule, and liquid forms and is primarily prescribed by healthcare professionals for short-term use.

Frequently Asked Questions for Antiviral Medications
  • What are Antiviral Medications?

    Antiviral medications are drugs specifically designed to prevent or treat viral infections by inhibiting the development and multiplication of viruses in the body. Unlike antibiotics (which treat bacteria), antivirals target viruses, which are much smaller infectious agents.

  • How Do Antiviral Medications Work?

    Antiviral drugs work by: Preventing viruses from entering or attaching to host cells Inhibiting viral replication (stopping the virus from making copies of itself) Blocking enzymes the virus needs to multiply Boosting the immune response to the virus They do not typically kill viruses outright but limit their ability to multiply and spread.

  • What are antiviral medications used for?

    Antiviral medications are used to treat infections caused by viruses, such as influenza, herpes, HIV, hepatitis, and others. They can reduce the severity and duration of symptoms, and in some cases, help prevent viral infections.

  • Are antiviral medications available over the counter?

    Most antiviral medications require a prescription from a healthcare provider, as they are used to treat specific viral infections and should be taken under medical supervision.

  • What are the common side effects of antiviral medications?

    Side effects may include nausea, headache, diarrhea, fatigue, or dizziness. The specific effects can vary depending on the medication and the condition being treated.

    While some antiviral medications can cure certain infections (like hepatitis C), most are used to control symptoms, shorten the duration of illness, or reduce the risk of complications.

  • Can I take antiviral medications preventively?

    For some viruses, antiviral medications may be prescribed as a preventive measure after exposure or to protect high-risk individuals, but this should always be done under a healthcare provider’s guidance.

  • Is it safe to buy antiviral medications online?

    It is important to buy antiviral medications only from established medical suppliers like Mountainside Medical Equipment to ensure the safety and authenticity of your medication.
