Brand names: Rimantadine Hydrochloride
Mechanism of Action The mechanism of action of rimantadine is not fully understood. Rimantadine appears to exert its inhibitory effect early in the viral replicative cycle, possibly inhibiting the uncoating of the virus. Genetic studies suggest that a virus protein specified by the virion M 2 gene plays an important role in the susceptibility of influenza A virus to inhibition by rimantadine.
