WHAT SYMMETREL IS USED FOR
Symmetrel capsule has two very different uses.
1.
It is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is caused by a disturbance in the balance of two
substances, dopamine and acetylcholine, that the brain
uses to send signals to other parts of the body. Symmetrel helps to
fix the imbalance of too little dopamine and/or too much
acetylcholine; and to relieve the symptoms, such as shaking of the
limbs, stiffness and slowness of movement which make it
difficult to perform usual tasks. Symmetrel can be used alone or with
other medicines to treat this condition.
2.
It is used to prevent a type of influenza ("the flu") caused by Type A
influenza virus.
Symmetrel is usually used for people who could become very ill if they
get the flu infections (for example, people who have a
serious illness such as lung disease or diabetes). Usually these
people
