Is Actazid effective?

Actazid 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 Actazid too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.

I feel better now, can I stop using Actazid?

What does Actazid do?

Actazid 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. Actazid effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.

You should not take Actazid if you have or ever had cirrhosis, severe liver or kidney disease, an electrolyte imbalance, adrenal gland failure, or an allergy to Actazid or sulfa drugs.

What if I forget to take a dose of Actazid?

If you forget a dose of Actazid, 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.
