Zolomid 100mg Capsules (5s) is a medication primarily used for the treatment of glaucoma, a condition that increases pressure in the eye, as well as other conditions such as certain types of seizures. The active ingredient in Zolomid is Acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.
Key Features:
- Acetazolamide (100mg): Works by reducing the production of fluid in the eye (aqueous humor), thereby lowering intraocular pressure in conditions like glaucoma. It also helps in reducing the frequency of seizures in certain types of epilepsy.
- Treatment for Glaucoma: Helps manage ocular pressure in patients with open-angle or closed-angle glaucoma.
- Used for Seizure Control: Can be prescribed as an adjunctive treatment for certain types of seizures, particularly in epilepsy.
- Other Indications: May also be used for altitude sickness and some cases of edema related to other medical conditions.
Benefits:
- Reduces eye pressure, preventing damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma.
- Helps control seizures by affecting fluid balance in the brain.
- Can alleviate symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headache and nausea.
Usage Instructions:
- Take the capsules as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice a day.
- Ensure you follow the prescribed dosage and schedule strictly to avoid side effects.
Note: It is important to use Zolomid under medical supervision as it can cause side effects like dizziness, electrolyte imbalances, or kidney problems. Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is recommended.
