Tromantadine is an antiviral medicine used to treat herpes simplex virus.

[1][2] Like rimantadine, amantadine, and adapromine, tromantadine is a derivative of adamantane.

Tromantadine inhibits the early and late events in the virus replication cycle.

[3] It changes the glycoproteins of the host cells, therefore impeding the absorption of the virus.
