DESCRIPTION

Acetazolamide is used to reduce pressure in the eyes. This pressure can be caused by or lead to an illness called glaucoma. If the pressure in your eye is too high it can damage your sight. It works by decreasing the amount of fluid inside the eye. Acetazolamide works by inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which reduces the production of bicarbonate in the body. This action decreases fluid buildup and lowers pressure in the eyes and other areas.

More specific Acetazolamide reduces the pressure inside the eyes, known as intraocular pressure. This helps to reduce the risk of damage to the optic nerve responsible for normal vision. If the pressure in the eye is not controlled, it can gradually lead to blindness. Acetazolamide effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.
