Amantadine is nether Tamiflu or Relenza.

Amantadine, Rimantidine, Memantine are a group of drugs which most likely act on the same enzyme as Tamiflu and Relenza, but this has never been proven. They are very old drugs which work only on Influenza-A.

They are also used to treat Parkinson's as they very actively bind to areas in the brain. This same effect is a bad side-effect when these drugs are used as an antiviral. This is the reason they are little used.
