Diamox Tablet (15 Tab)

About Diamox Tablet

Diamox Tablet is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to reduce increased pressure in the eyes, commonly associated with glaucoma and certain other eye disorders. By lowering intraocular pressure, it helps protect the optic nerve and prevent vision loss.

Medicinal Benefits

• Lowers eye pressure: Reduces the production of fluid (aqueous humour) within the eye, effectively decreasing intraocular pressure.
• Prevents optic nerve damage: Helps preserve vision and slows the progression of glaucoma.
• Supports eye health: Beneficial in conditions where fluid buildup or pressure within the eye needs to be controlled.

How Diamox Tablet Works
Diamox Tablet contains Acetazolamide, which inhibits the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. This action decreases the formation of aqueous humour in the eye, leading to reduced intraocular pressure and protection against optic nerve damage.

Directions for Use

• Take the tablet as prescribed by your doctor, with or without food.
• Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew.
• Take it at the same time each day for consistent effect.
• Continue using it regularly, even if you feel better, unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
