[h=3]Excerpt[/h] Amantadine is an antiviral agent with mild antiparkinsonian activity. Amantadine was used in the early 2000s for Influenza A treatment. A 2006 meta-analysis showed that the drug decreased influenza symptoms by one day and decreased the severity of fever and other symptoms. However, high levels of resistance have emerged recently, initially from Asia and now to North America. As of 2011, the CDC does not recommend treatment or prophylaxis of influenza A due to the high levels of resistance.
