Tromantadine is an antiviral medicine used to treat herpes simplex virus. It is available in a topical gel under trade names Viru-Merz and Viru-Merz Serol. Its performance is similar to aciclovir.[1][2]

Like rimantadine, amantadine, and adapromine, tromantadine is a derivative of adamantane.

Mechanism

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. It inhibits penetration of the virus. It also prevents uncoating of the virions.
