Abstract
Oral amantadine (3 × 100 mg/day for 3 days) had no effect on basal GH values in 6 subjects (3 with untreated Parkinson's disease). The drug did, however, boost L-DOPA stimulation of GH, so that a positive response was also obtained in 2 subjects who had failed to respond to L-DOPA alone.Keywords
