What is Amantadine Poisoning?
Amantadine poisoning is an acute condition caused by an overdose of amantadine, a drug which is used to treat some viruses, especially influenza, along with Parkinson’s Disease. This condition attracted a great deal of popular attention in 2008, when it was featured in the television series House. While there is no treatment for amantadine poisoning, there are some supportive therapies which can be used to make the patient more comfortable, and sometimes the effects can be reversed if the condition is caught early enough.
