Mantadin Capsule 100 mg contains Amantadine Hydrochloride, an antiviral and antiparkinsonian agent. It is commonly used for the management of Parkinson’s disease, drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms, and certain viral infections such as influenza A.

Amantadine works by modulating dopamine activity in the brain, improving movement control and reducing tremors, stiffness, and rigidity in patients with Parkinsonism. Additionally, its antiviral action inhibits viral replication, helping to prevent or manage specific influenza infections.

Mantadin Capsule provides a convenient oral formulation that ensures effective systemic absorption and consistent therapeutic action for both neurological and antiviral uses.
