Effectiveness of amantadine in reducing relapses in multiple sclerosis

G S Plaut. J R Soc Med. 1987 Feb.

Abstract

Fifty-three patients with multiple sclerosis were assessed in a double-blind multicentre study for the effect of amatadine. The patients were observed in general practices for up to four years. Relapses occurred in 5 of the 24 patients treated with amantadine and in 14 of the 29 placebo-treated patients. Neurological deterioration was not significantly different in the two groups.
