Acetazolamide 250mg tablets, marketed as Diamox, primarily treat altitude sickness. Take 250mg two to three times daily, starting one to two days before ascending to high altitudes, and continue for 24 to 48 hours after reaching your destination. Adjust dosage based on your doctor’s recommendations.
Other Uses
Diamox also manages glaucoma by reducing intraocular pressure. Your ophthalmologist will determine the correct dosage and frequency. It’s also used for certain types of epilepsy and idiopathic intracranial hypertension, again with dosage tailored to your individual needs. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
Dosage Considerations
Dosage depends on your condition, age, and other medications you take. Kidney problems influence how your body processes acetazolamide, requiring close monitoring and potential dosage adjustments. Expect your doctor to provide a specific regimen, and promptly report any side effects.
