drug

where delay of surgery is

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
