There have been many mainstream press reports in Poland on the use of Amantadine in the treatment of Covid19. Over 500 patients treated by 1 doctor, possibly 2000 by other doctors. It seems mostly to lessen the symptoms and may have weak anti-viral effects. There is already a lot of literature, but RCTs are forthcoming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.254.144.208 ( talk) 13:11, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
Disclaimer. I am not accusing any government of anything. What I wrote was pure speculation. I have no idea whether amantadine is effective in the treatment of Covid19, and the Polish sources are very vague. I would like to delete all the text in this topic, starting from my first entry. But to do so I need approval from the other contributors to this topic. @ User:Alexbrn @ User:IAmNitpicking: Are you agreed? 85.193.228.103 ( talk) 15:57, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
An article (many others can be googled up): https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-021-02866-9 Mikon ( talk) 10:49, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
The Polish wikipedia have large section about this. For example in Morfine article is the large section about "Non-medical use" , so I don't understand why there cannot be seciont "Non-official use". In Poland there is a hot topic - even members of parliament recomends using Amandantine for treatment (but not govmt itself). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkan997 ( talk • contribs) 00:16, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
The edit has been reverted twice, the first time with the summary "Already covered in COVID-19 section" (there has been none before) and the other saying that it fails WP:NOTJOURNAL and notability ("not a substantial part of history").
Should the information about the research on the drug about COVID-19 and the rise of popularity of the drug in Poland be included? The model text is quoted [1] [2] in these two diffs (for the visual version, see here). Some minor modifications are of course possible. See also Polish Wikipedia. I am able to provide translations from Polish, if needed. Szmenderowiecki ( talk) 20:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
In the previous two threads, several users have called to include information about the research about amantadine as a possible drug against COVID-19. In Poland, there has been some heavy (and mostly without evidence) promotion of the Viregyt-K pills (as amantadine is commercially sold in Poland) similar to what has been happening elsewhere with ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (the latter drugs have even got two separate articles on Wikipedia about speculation on their efficacy and the political clashes about it). The public interest in the drug prompted a metaanalysis of three studies then available (cited) and forced, in a way, financing of two clinical trials, one recently terminated due to the lack of evidence and the other still underway. In any case, the drug shows no evidence of working against COVID so far, which is mentioned in the edit several times.
Good morning, I know the Wikipedia Editors as a class really dislike it when people "assign" things to them on the talk page. I'm going to do it anyway. Why? B/c I have in no way, shape, or form the necessary knowledge. I came here to gain it.
Amantadine is also prescribed off-label for patients with autism. The studies for this were first published in 2001. However, I came to wikipedia looking for a less "studies in the journal" explanation in how that was supposed to work, only to not find it listed. Insurance pays for it, which means it's approved to some extent.
I found these and can't understand them

Given the vast amount of studies putting in evidence the potential of this molecule to treat depression, I really wonder why this usage has not been mentioned !!! 82.52.60.89 ( talk) 17:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
