4. Clinical particulars
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Acetazolamide is an enzyme inhibitor which acts specifically on
carbonic anhydrase. It is indicated in the
treatment of :
i) Glaucoma: DIAMOX injection is useful in glaucoma (chronic simple
(open angle) glaucoma,
secondary glaucoma and perioperatively in acute angle closure glaucoma
where delay of surgery is
desired in order to lower intraocular pressure) because it acts on
inflow, decreasing the amount of
aqueous secretion.
ii) Abnormal retention of fluids: DIAMOX injection is a diuretic whose
effect is due to the effect on the
reversible hydration of carbon dioxide and dehydration of carbonic
acid reaction in the kidney. The result
is a renal loss of HCO3- ion which carries out sodium, water and
potassium.
DIAMOX injection can be used in conjunction with other diuretics when
effects on several segments of
the nephron are desirable in the treatment of fluid retaining states.
iii) Epilepsy: In conjunction with other anticonvulsants best results
with DIAMOX injection have been
seen in petit mal in children. Good results, however, have been seen
in patients, both children and adults,
with other types of seizures such as grand mal, mixed seizure
patterns, myoclonic jerk patterns, etc
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Routes of Administration: Intravenous or intramuscular injection. The
direct intravenous route is
preferred as intramuscular use is limited by the alkaline pH of the
solution.
i) Glaucoma (simple acute congestive and secondary):
Adults: 250 - 10
