The actual mechanisms by which acetazolamide reduces symptoms of AMS, however, remain unclear
Chemical structure and chemical relatives of acetazolamide Acetazolamide, or N- (5-Sulfamoyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)acetamide, is usually classified as a sulfonamide, even though
1 (a)), is one kind of special and typical medicine for treating glaucoma [16], and it is also
possessing a chemical structure and pharmacological activity distinctly different from the bacteriostatic sulfonamides
DIAMOX is an enzyme inhibitor that acts specifically on carbonic
Acetazolamide is used to treat edema (fluid retention) caused by heart failure or other medicines
Acetazolamide may cause serious side effects
DIAMOX is an enzyme inhibitor that acts specifically on carbonic anhydrase, the enzyme that catalyzes the reversible reaction involving the hydration of carbon dioxide and the dehydration of carbonic acid
That means this drug works to cause an accumulation of carbonic acid by preventing its breakdown

Each vial contains an amount of acetazolamide sodium equivalent to 500 mg of acetazolamide, USP
Consideration should be taken in patients being treated with antidiabetic
Interference with the
Acetazolamide interferes with the HPLC method of assay for theophylline
The chemical name for acetazolamide is N - (5-Sulfamoyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-acetamide and has the following chemical structure: Molecular Weight: 222
Acetazolamide may increase or decrease blood glucose levels
Interference with the theophylline assay by Acetazolamide acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase, of which there are several subtypes in humans
Acetazolamide may increase or decrease blood glucose levels
Interference with the theophylline assay by Acetazolamide may increase the effects of other folic acid antagonists
