FAQ's on ACTAMIDE 250MG TABLET

What does Actamide do?

Actamide reduces the pressure inside the eyes, known as intraocular pressure. This helps to reduce the risk of damage to the optic nerve responsible for normal vision. If the pressure in the eye is not controlled, it can gradually lead to blindness. Actamide effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.

What if I forget to take a dose of Actamide?

If you forget a dose of Actamide, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take it in the regular schedule instead of taking the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

Who should not take Actamide?

You should not take Actamide if you have or ever had cirrhosis, severe liver or kidney disease, an electrolyte imbalance, adrenal gland failure, or an allergy to Actamide or sulfa drugs. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or are breastfeeding to avoid any harmful effect on your baby.

Is Actamide effective?

Actamide is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Actamide too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.

I feel better now, can I stop using Actamide?

No, you should not stop using Actamide suddenly without talking to your doctor. This is because if you stop the medication before completing the treatment, your symptoms may return or even worsen. Use Actamide in the dose and duration advised by your doctor to get maximum benefit of Actamide.
