NEW ZEALAND DATA SHEET Page 1 of 9 1 PRODUCT NAME DIAMOX acetazolamide 250 mg tablet 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION DIAMOX tablets contain 250 mg of acetazolamide. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM DIAMOX tablets are round, convex, white, cross scored, diameter 11mm. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications For adjunctive treatment of: oedema due to congestive heart failure; drug induced oedema; centrencephalic epilepsies (petit mal, unlocalized seizures); chronic simple (open-angle) glaucoma, secondary glaucoma and preoperatively in acute angle-closure glaucoma where delay of surgery is desired in order to lower intraocular pressure. 4.2 Dose and method of administration _GLAUCOMA _ DIAMOX should be used as an adjunct to the usual therapy. The dosage employed in the treatment of chronic simple (open-angle) glaucoma ranges from 250 mg to 1 g of DIAMOX per 24 hours, usually in divided doses for amounts over 250 mg. It has usually been found that a dosage in excess of 2 g per 24 hours does not produce an increased effect. In all cases, the dosage should be adjusted with careful individual attention both to symptomatology and ocular tension. Continuous supervision by a physician is advisable. In treatment of secondary glaucoma and in the preoperative treatment of some cases of acute congestive (closed-angle) glaucoma, the preferred dosage is 250 mg every 4 hours, although some cases have responded to 250 mg twice daily on short-term therapy. In some acute cases, it may be more satisfactory to administer an initial dose of 500 mg followed by 125 or 250 mg every 4 hours depending on the individual case. Intravenous therapy may be used for rapid relief of ocular tension in acute cases. A complementary effect has been noted when DIAMOX has been used in conjunction with miotics or mydriatics as the case demanded. _EPILEPSY _ It is not clearly known whether the beneficial effects observed in epilepsy are due to direct inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in the centr Perskaitykite visą dokumentą
