Amantadine contributes to pain relief in dogs and cats by reducing the development of sensitisation to pain in the central nervous system (e.g. brain and spinal cord). Pain can develop due to 'over-amplification' of the signals by the nervous system, termed 'central sensitisation'. Central sensitization is a major component in the development of chronic and neuropathic pain; both of these can be very difficult to treat. There are several drugs which are used to treat neuropathic pain, but the choice may vary depending on the origin of the pain. The first-choice drug for known nerve damage should be a gabapentinoid (such as gabapentin or pregabalin). This group of drugs is not effective for osteoarthritis pain so the first choice for progressive osteoarthritis pain that in dogs that are otherwise well managed should be amantadine. Amantadine should be considered as part of the initial multimodal therapy for any patient that has moderate to severe chronic pain and as an add-on drug for patients that have worsening chronic pain despite presumably adequate pain control and no worsening of the inciting disease. The first-choice drug treatment for dogs and cats with chronic osteoarthritis pain is usually a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Therapy with an NSAID alone may become ineffective in more advanced osteoarthritis.
