Has Anyone Heard Of The New Drug Extended Release Form Of Amantadine?
Last week the US Food and Drug Administration accepted for review the New Drug Application for a dyskinesia therapy. The results of the review will be announced by August. If approved it would be the first and only available therapy designed to target levodopa -induced dyskinesia. It is an extended release form of Amantadine that is taken once a day only at bedtime.
Well that looks promising! Just thought you would all like that information. Bean
I know I took the regular form of Amantadine way back when and I remember I had side effects from it but if it does get approved I will try it once again. Maybe the slow release will have less side effects. Guess if you don't try you will never know. Will let you know if I hear anything further on it. Bean
I still have a minor tremor every now and then no other side effects at all in fact completely the opposite my tinnitus has now gone as well and I had that in both sides. I can honestly say I feel 100% at least 95% normality has resume since the surgery I feel like a new woman and i intend to continue getting stronger and stronger. The Bonus is they expected it to give you 70% normality back and as said I feel I've got 95%.
Regular Amantadine made me throw up all the time in spite of I taking anti nausea tablets slow release hopefully will work better as it is just a trickle effect into our systems thankfully I no longer need this after major med reduction after DBS surgery.....
Not heard this but this drug was the one I took in normal release format that kept on making me sick and although effective drug for dyskinesia only works for 50 percent of people that take it.
I take amantadine -cap.100mg andseveral other PD drugs but I haven't had any hallucinations with any of them.I take carbidopa/levo25-100 tab,entacapone 200mg(to extend my ropinirole 3mg ),gabapentin600mg,mirtazapine15tab, and throid med and omeorazole 40mg. I have to take most of them at least 3x a day.But I think PD reacts different in each of us.
