title: [Oral combination therapy of zoster neuralgia. Pain reduction by 1-adamantanamine sulfate and carbamazepine per os].
abstract: In four patients hospitalized with severe neuralgic complaints in conjunction with a Zoster infection, the pain-relieving effect of oral 1-adamantanamine sulfate used in combination with carbamazepine was studied. From the results obtained, the oral administration of 1-adamantanamine sulfate also appears to have a reliable analgesic effect, so that ambulatory treatment is readily possible.
