Drug Details
Osmolex ER, containing amantadine, is a medication prescribed for adults to manage Parkinson's disease and certain movement-related side effects known as extrapyramidal symptoms, which can be induced by other drugs. This medication is typically taken once daily in the morning. It functions as an NMDA antagonist, which is believed to increase dopamine levels by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain. This action helps alleviate movement symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and slowness. Patients should be aware of potential side effects, including nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness, and difficulty sleeping. It is crucial to follow medical advice and not switch brands without consulting a healthcare professional. Always discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new medication or treatment plan.
