Description

Acetazolamide works by disrupting the action of an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase, reducing fluid pressure in specific conditions and balancing electrolyte levels in the body. This mechanism significantly decreases symptoms such as shortness of breath and dizziness when ascending to high altitudes, making acclimatization more comfortable.

Additionally, it aids in reducing fluid retention in conditions like congestive heart failure and certain types of seizures in epilepsy. Acetazolamide 250 mg is celebrated for managing glaucoma by reducing intraocular pressure, a vital aspect of preserving vision in patients with this condition. It’s administered orally and available in tablet form.

Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should use this medication only if clearly needed and after consulting a healthcare provider.
