I removed all of the external links in the External links section, for these reasons:

  • The Washington Post article should have been a reference; I added it to the Refs section and added inline citations to it.
  • Endo Pharmaceuticals prescribing information was already listed as a reference. There's no need to include it twice.
  • MedicineNet.com's info on Amantadine had some potentially useful information, but nothing beyond what the article would have if it was a Featured Article (see Wikipedia:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided). Also, there is a lot, perhaps an objectionable amount, of advertising on MedicineNet.com.
  • The Journal of Infectious Diseases article should was already listed as a reference, so I changed the referencing to an inline citation so it appeared in the References section.

Fans of the TV show House are eager to add to this article the fact that amantadine plays a crucial role in this year's season finale. I consider myself a House fan, but is that information really notable enough to put into this article here? --Hnsampat (talk) 14:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you are referring to a US television show? I dont think that Wikipedia would be more useful if this local trivia were added, although many in the US might find it interesting or amusing. But you can always add the item and see what other editors think.--Smokefoot (talk) 15:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I actually think the information does not belong here. Somebody had added it in and I removed it, after which it was added again and I removed it again. Now, it's been added yet again and I wanted to raise the issue here before removing the info. --Hnsampat (talk) 19:00, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It absolutely does not belong there, since it's such a minor focus (1 episode). Even the reference to House in the vicodin article is borderline at best. Bockbockchicken (talk) 19:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it is appropriate content either. It's simply not relevant. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about hepatitis C?

According to the HCV article, Amantadine is being investigated as an adjunctive treatment, along with Ribavirin and interferon.--74.124.187.76 (talk) 00:50, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

cocaine cravings

A couple of pharmacists have told me that Amantadine has properties that reduce an addict’s craving for cocaine. Does anyone have any links to support this concept? So far I have found: http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/157/12/2052. Is this usable? 208.125.237.242 (talk) 16:57, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rating

On request, I'm rating this article as High importance because it's a first-in-class. It's a good Start article; could be easily made into a C article if information on contraindications, pharmacokinetics and interactions were added. Please consider removing the dosage information (see Wikipedia:MOSMED#Drugs). Hope I could help. Cheers, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 20:09, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
