Parkitidin ER 129 Tablet contains amantadine (129 mg), which acts on the body in several ways:

• Increased Dopamine Release: Amantadine stimulates an increase in dopamine release in the brain while simultaneously blocking its reuptake into nerve cells. This leads to a higher concentration of dopamine available for nerve signal transmission.

• Stimulated Norepinephrine Response: The medicine also stimulates the response of norepinephrine, another neurotransmitter involved in regulating many bodily functions, including attention and responding to stress.

• Anticholinergic Activity: Amantadine demonstrates anticholinergic activity, meaning it blocks acetylcholine receptors, leading to reduced involuntary muscle movements.

• Glutamatergic NMDA Receptor Antagonism: Finally, it acts as an antagonist to glutamatergic NMDA receptors, preventing the excessive action of glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory. This combined activity provides relief from symptoms of Parkinson's disease with fewer side effects compared to other treatments.
