FAQ's on Diamox Tablet 15s

What if I forget to take a dose of Diamox?

If you forget a dose of Diamox, 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 Diamox?

You should not take Diamox if you have or ever had cirrhosis, severe liver or kidney disease, an electrolyte imbalance, adrenal gland failure, or an allergy to Diamox 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 Diamox effective?

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

What does Diamox do?

Diamox 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.

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

I feel better now, can I stop using Diamox?
