Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Definitely not the same thing, although similar action (but not the same!) http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN & cpsidt=14762027 Memantine= Namenda (it is better known under that name actually) Amantadine is more closely related to Rimantadine, also an antiviral (flu virus). But there have been lots of cases of viral resistance to both, so not prescribed as antivirals any longer... Off label uses are parkinsons, ADHD, multiple sclerosis....
