Amantadine Continuation After Hospital Discharge for Acute Stroke Requiring Inpatient Rehabilitation: A Long-term Follow-up Study
Amantadine dosing was highly variable during inpatient rehabilitation, with trends for longer dosing after acute ischemic stroke and shorter for subarachnoid hemorrhage. Amantadine appeared well tolerated during and after inpatient rehabilitation, and most (22/28) patients were prescribed amantadine at discharge. Strategies to guide long-term use of amantadine after acute stroke require further prospective study.
