    About this item
    DESCRIPTION:

    Amantadine Hydrochloride is useful in temporarily relieving pain in cats and dogs. It is also used as an antiviral to combat a number of viral infections.

    Key Benefits: The mode of action of Amantadine is blockage of the nervous system's NMDA receptors in cats and dogs. This allows the medication to relieve pain. It also acts as an antiviral.

    Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs.

    How is Medication Given? Follow your veterinarian's directions when using this product.

    What Results Can I Expect? Amantadine Hydrochloride is typically used to manage arthritis pain in dogs and cats, but it also relieves nerve damage-related neuropathy, serves as an antiviral, and treats the pain associated with cancer (particularly bone cancer).
