PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Amantadine Hydrochloride Capsules, USP are indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of signs and symptoms of infection caused by various strains of influenza A virus. Amantadine Hydrochloride Capsules, USP are also indicated in the treatment of parkinsonism and drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions. Amantadine Hydrochloride Capsules, USP are indicated for chemoprophylaxis against signs and symptoms of influenza A virus infection. Because Amantadine Hydrochloride does not completely prevent the host immune response to influenza A infection, individuals who take this drug may still develop immune responses to natural disease or vaccination and may be protected when later exposed to antigenically related viruses. Following vaccination during an influenza A outbreak, Amantadine Hydrochloride Capsules, USP prophylaxis should be considered for the 2- to 4-week time period required to develop an antibody response. Amantadine Hydrochloride Capsules, USP are also indicated in the treatment of uncomplicated respirat
Amantadine Hydrochloride Capsules, USP are available as yellow, soft gelatin capsules containing 100 mg of amantadine hydrochloride, in bottles of 10's (NDC 21695-564-10). Each capsule is imprinted with “1704” in black ink. Store at 20-25°C (68-77°F) [See USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Protect from moisture. Dispense in a tight, light-resistant container, as defined in the USP. Keep out of reach of children. 1 W.W. Wilson and A.H. Rajput, Amantadine-Dyazide Interaction, Can. Med. Assoc.

Abbreviated New Drug Application
AMANTADINE HCL- AMANTADINE HYDROCHLORIDE CAPSULE REBEL DISTRIBUTORS CORP. ---------- DESCRIPTION Amantadine hydrochloride is designated chemically as 1-adamantanamine hydrochloride. Amantadine hydrochloride is a stable white or nearly white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water and soluble in alcohol and in chloroform. Amantadine hydrochloride has pharmacological actions as both an anti-Parkinson and an antiviral drug. Each capsule intended for oral administration contains 100 mg amantadine hydrochloride and has the following inactive ingredients: Yellow Iron Oxide, gelatin, glycerin, hydrogenated vegetable oil, lecithin-bleached, soybean oil, sorbitol, sorbitan, mannitol, titanium dioxide, white beeswax, vegetable shortening, simethicone and iron oxide (black imprint ink). USP Dissolution Test Pending. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY PHARMACODYNAMICS MECHANISM OF ACTION: ANTIVIRAL The mechanism by which amantadine exerts its antiviral activity is not clearly understood. It appears to mainly prevent the release of infectious viral nucleic acid into the host cell by interfering with the function of the transmembrane domain of the viral M2 protein. In certain cases, amantadine is also known to prevent virus assembly during virus replication. It does not appear to interfere with the immunogenicity of inactivated influenza A virus vaccine. _ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY_ Amantadine inhibits the replication of influenza A virus isolates from each of the subtypes, i.e., H1N1, H2N2 and H3N2. It has very little or no activity against influenza B virus isolates. A quantitative relationship between the _in vitro _susceptibility of influenza A virus to amantadine and the clinical response to therapy has not been established in man. Sensitivity test results, expressed as the concentration of amantadine required to inhibit by 50% the growth of virus (ED ) in tissue culture vary greatly (from 0.1 µg/mL to 25.0 µg/mL) depending upon the assay protocol used, size of virus inoculum, isolates of influenza A virus strains tested, and the cell t Soma hati kamili
