Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It is a potent medication that works by reducing the activity of an enzyme in the body called carbonic anhydrase. In the eyes, this action reduces the production of aqueous humor (fluid), thereby lowering internal eye pressure. In the kidneys, it promotes the excretion of bicarbonate, salt, and water, which can help adjust the body's acid-base balance and reduce fluid retention.
This 112-tablet bulk pack is used for several clinical conditions:
Glaucoma: Specifically used to reduce intraocular pressure in open-angle, secondary, and acute angle-closure glaucoma.
Altitude Sickness: Used to prevent and reduce the symptoms of "mountain sickness" (headache, tiredness, dizziness, and nausea) in climbers and travelers ascending to high altitudes.
Edema (Fluid Retention): Occasionally used as an adjunctive treatment for congestive heart failure or drug-induced fluid retention.
Epilepsy: Used in combination with other anti-seizure medications to treat certain types of seizures (centrencephalic epilepsies).
Acetazolamide (250mg): A high-quality pharmaceutical formulation from Blumont Pharma Ltd, ensuring consistent potency and dissolution.
For Glaucoma: Usually 250mg to 1000mg per day in divided doses.
For Altitude Sickness: 500mg to 1000mg daily in divided doses, typically starting 1–2 days before ascent and continuing for 48 hours at the highest altitude.
Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
Note: Your doctor will determine the exact dose based on your specific condition and response to the medication.
Consistency: Take your doses at regular intervals. If you are taking it once daily, the morning is usually best to avoid waking up during the night to urinate.
With Food: If you experience stomach upset, taking the tablet with food or milk can help.
Hydration: Ensure you drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Sulfa Allergy: Acetazolamide is a sulfonamide derivative. Do not use this medication if you have a known allergy to "sulfa" drugs (such as certain antibiotics).
Electrolyte Balance: Prolonged use can cause a drop in potassium or changes in blood chemistry. Your doctor may recommend periodic blood tests.
Drowsiness: This medication can occasionally cause drowsiness or confusion. Use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
Tingling Sensations: A common side effect is a "pins and needles" sensation (paresthesia) in the hands, feet, or face. This is usually harmless but should be reported if it becomes bothersome.
Medical Conditions: Consult our pharmacist if you have severe kidney or liver disease, or if you have Addison’s disease.
Indicated For: Patients diagnosed with glaucoma, individuals planning high-altitude travel, and those requiring adjunctive treatment for specific seizure disorders as prescribed by a physician.
Q: Does it taste different?
A: Acetazolamide can change the way you perceive the taste of carbonated beverages (soda or beer), often making them taste "flat" or metallic. This is a common and temporary side effect.
Q: Why are there 112 tablets in the pack?
A: This pack size is designed for long-term "maintenance" therapy, providing exactly a 16-week supply if taken as one tablet daily, or 8 weeks if taken twice daily.
Q: Can I use this to lose weight?
A: No. While it increases urination (diuretic effect), it is not a weight-loss medication and should never be used for that purpose.
