Amantex 100 Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat Parkinson’s disease and certain drug-induced movement disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs called dopaminergic agents, which work by increasing levels of dopamine, a vital brain chemical that helps control movement and coordination. Amantex is particularly effective in managing symptoms such as muscle stiffness, tremors, and slowed movements. It does not cure Parkinson’s disease but can significantly improve quality of life by enhancing mobility and reducing discomfort associated with movement disorders.

How Amantex 100 Tablet works
Amantex 100 Tablet contains amantadine, which works by increasing the release of dopamine and preventing its reuptake in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical messenger that transmits signals between nerve cells and plays a crucial role in regulating movement. Low dopamine levels are a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease, and Amantex helps restore this balance, resulting in improved motor function and reduced symptoms.
Because Amantex may cause dizziness, blurred vision, or sleep disturbances, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how it affects you. Rise slowly from sitting or lying positions to prevent light-headedness. Regular monitoring may be required if you have a history of seizures, kidney problems, or are taking other medications.
