Get Symmetrel Online

Symmetrel (amantadine) is primarily used to treat the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including tremor, muscle stiffness, and slowness of movement. It was originally developed as an antiviral agent but is now widely recognized for its role in Parkinson's management.

Symmetrel works through two main mechanisms: it promotes the release of dopamine from nerve terminals and blocks NMDA-type glutamate receptors. Both actions help restore more balanced signaling in the parts of the brain that control movement.

Many patients notice some improvement in motor symptoms within a few days to two weeks of starting Symmetrel. However, individual responses vary, and your physician may adjust your dose over time to find the most effective level.

Common side effects include livedo reticularis (a mottled skin discoloration), ankle swelling, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, and dry mouth. Less commonly, some patients experience confusion or hallucinations, particularly at higher doses or in older adults.

Symmetrel is often used alongside other Parkinson's treatments such as carbidopa-levodopa or dopamine agonists. However, combining medications requires careful physician oversight because of potential interactions and additive side effects. Always disclose all medications you are taking during your evaluation.

Symmetrel should be used with caution or avoided in patients with a history of seizures, severe kidney disease, uncontrolled psychiatric conditions, or certain heart rhythm problems. Your Doctronic physician will review your medical history to determine whether Symmetrel is safe for you.
