Indications and Usage OSMOLEX ER is indicated for the treatment of:
• Parkinson's disease
• Drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions in adult patients
Dosage and Administration • The initial dosage is 129 mg orally once daily in the morning
• The dosage may be increased in weekly intervals to a maximum daily dose
of 322 mg once daily in the morning
• Swallow tablets whole; do not chew, crush, or divide
• Dosing frequency reduction and monitoring required for renal impairment
Mechanism of action The mechanism by which amantadine exerts efficacy in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions is unknown. Amantadine is a weak uncompetitive antagonist of the NMDA receptor; however, it exhibits anticholinergic-like side effects such as dry mouth, urinary retention, and constipation in humans. Amantadine may have direct and indirect effects on dopamine neurons; it exerts dopaminergic-like side effects such as
hallucinations and dizziness in humans.
Absorption OSMOLEX ER tablet consists of an immediate-release outer layer and an extended-release core.The pharmacokinetics of amantadine from OSMOLEX ER is dose proportional across the dose range of 129 mg to 322 mg.
Absorption
Following oral administration of OSMOLEX ER, peak concentration of amantadine was observed in a median time of 7.5 hours (range 5.5 to 12 hours). After a single oral administration of the 129 mg dose, the mean (CV%) Cmax and AUC were 328 ng/ml (18%) and 8263 ng.h/ml (18%) respectively. Cmax and AUC with other dose levels of OSMOLEX ER increase proportionally.
Food Effect Food does not affect the rate or the extent of absorption of OSMOLEX ER.
Distribution Amantadine is 67% bound to plasma proteins over a concentration range of 0.1 to 2.0 μg/mL.The volume of distribution after intravenous administration is 3-8 L/kg, suggesting potential extravascular distribution.
Metabolism Metabolism accounts for only 5-15% of the total clearance for amantadine. Eight metabolites of amantadine have been identified in human urine. One metabolite, an N-acetylated compound,was quantified in human urine and accounted for 0-15% of the administered dose in multiple studies. The contribution of this metabolite to efficacy or toxicity is not known.
Elimination Amantadine is mainly eliminated renally, and approximately 85% of the administered dose is excreted unchanged in urine. After oral administration of a single 129 mg OSMOLEX ER tablet, the apparent oral clearance was approximately11 L/h. The half-life was approximately 16 hours.
Amantadine is primarily excreted by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. The pH of the urine has been reported to influence the excretion rate of amantadine
Peak plasma time (Tmax)7.5 hours (range 5.5 to 12 hours)
Half lifeApproximately 16 hours
Bioavailability-
Age, gender In a study of young healthy subjects (n=20), mean renal clearance of amantadine, normalized for body mass index, was 1.5 fold higher in males compared to females. No dose adjustment by gender is warranted.
