What is DIAMOX?

What is DIAMOX used for?
DIAMOX is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and is used to treat altitude sickness (mountain sickness), glaucoma, edema (swelling in the body due to fluid buildup), and epilepsy (petit mal, unlocalized seizures).
How does DIAMOX work?
DIAMOX is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that affects your body’s fluid and acid-base balance. For altitude sickness, it allows your body to use oxygen better at high altitudes. To help with edema in the body, acetazolamide removes extra water and electrolytes from your body and pass them into your urine. In addition, the medication lowers the amount of fluid in your eyes to treat glaucoma. Though unclear, acetazolamide appears to calm your nervous system to help with seizures.
