What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Symmetrel Overview
Amantadine is used to treat Parkinson's disease, as well as side effects caused by drugs (such as drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms), chemicals, and other medical conditions. In these cases, Symmetrel may help to improve your range of motion and ability to exercise. For the treatment of these conditions, amantadine is believed to work by restoring the balance of natural chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain. Amantadine is used to prevent or treat a certain type of flu (influenza A). If you have been infected with the flu, Symmetrel may help make your symptoms less severe and shorten the time it will take you to get better. Taking amantadine if you have been or will be exposed to the flu may help to prevent you from getting the flu. Symmetrel is an antiviral that is believed to work by stopping growth of the flu virus. Symmetrel is not a vaccine. To increase the chance that you will not get the flu, it is important to get a flu shot once a year at the beginning of every flu season, if possible. Based on the recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the US, amantadine should not be used to treat or prevent influenza A because the current influenza A virus in the United States and Canada is resistant to Symmetrel. For more details, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
How to Use Symmetrel
Take Symmetrel by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. If you are taking Symmetrel twice a day and have trouble sleeping after taking it, take the second dose several hours before bedtime. If you are using the liquid form of Symmetrel, carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Dosage of Symmetrel is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. In children, the Dosage of Symmetrel is also based on body weight. Do not take more than prescribed by your doctor. Symmetrel works best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Take Symmetrel at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night. If you are taking amantadine for a viral infection, begin taking it as soon as possible. Continue taking it until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a relapse of the infection. In Parkinson's disease, the effects of the medication may not be noticed for several weeks. Do not suddenly stop taking the medication because symptoms or side effects may worsen. Your doctor may want to reduce your dose gradually. Symmetrel may not work as well after it has been taken for several months. Tell your doctor if Symmetrel stops working well.
