Adjunctive treatment of drug induced edema and edema due to congestive heart failure. 2. Chronic simple (open angle) glaucoma, secondary glaucoma and pre operatively in acute angle closure glaucoma where delay of surgery is desired in order to lower intraocular pressure. 3. Acute mountain sickness. 4.2. POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE : For diuresis in congestive heart failure, the starting dose is usually 250 to 375 mg once daily in the morning. If, after an initial response, the patient fails to continue to lose edema fluid, do not increase the dose but allow for kidney recovery by skipping medication for a day.

The use of acetazolamide does not eliminate the need for other therapy such as digitalis, bed rest and salt restriction.
