Amantrel Tablet contains amantadine (100 mg). It acts on your body in the following ways:

• Increases Dopamine Levels: Amantadine helps increase the levels of dopamine in your brain. Dopamine is a type of chemical messenger known as a neurotransmitter which plays a vital role in coordinating body movements.
• Facilitates Dopamine Release: This medicine facilitates the release of dopamine from nerve endings and inhibits its reuptake or absorption back into the nerve cells. This results in enhanced transmission of dopamine signals which helps improve body coordination in Parkinson's disease.
• Exhibits Antiviral Activity: Apart from its effect on dopamine, amantadine also shows antiviral activity against influenza A viruses. It interferes with the function of a viral protein called M2 thereby preventing the virus from reproducing within our cells.

• Keep your Amantrel Tablet in its original packaging to protect it.
• Store it at room temperature, ideally below 25 degrees Celsius.
• Avoid exposure to light and moisture.
• Ensure the medicine is out of reach of children.
• Always check the expiry date and use the medicine before this date.

• For managing Parkinson's disease, include more fibre-rich foods in your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This can help prevent constipation, a side effect of Amantrel Tablet.
• Engage in regular physical exercise like walking or yoga, which can help improve movement difficulties associated with Parkinson's disease. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
