Additional Information

Pharmacological effects: Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that works by decreasing the production of aqueous humor in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure. It also helps in the management of epilepsy by altering electrolyte balance in the brain.

Clinical trials: Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of acetazolamide in the treatment of glaucoma and its role in preventing high-altitude illnesses. Research published in the Journal of Travel Medicine supports the use of acetazolamide for altitude sickness prevention.
