Uses of Azm 250mg Tablets

Azm 250mg Tablets is used to lower raised pressure inside the eye in glaucoma, including before eye surgery. It is also used alongside other medicines for some types of epilepsy, to reduce fluid retention, and to help prevent or ease altitude sickness when climbing to high altitude. It is sometimes used for raised pressure around the brain.

How Azm 250mg Tablets works

Acetazolamide blocks an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. In the eye this reduces the production of fluid, lowering eye pressure. Elsewhere it makes the blood slightly more acidic and increases urine output, which helps breathing adapt at altitude and can make seizures less likely.

• Tingling in the fingers, toes or face
• Passing more urine
• Change in taste, especially fizzy drinks
