Medical Description

Daymox Capsule is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to treat glaucoma, a condition where increased pressure inside the eye can damage the nerve connecting the eye to the brain and may lead to vision loss if left untreated. It contains acetazolamide as the active ingredient, which reduces the production of fluid in the eye and thereby lowers eye pressure. Daymox Capsule is also used to prevent and relieve the symptoms of altitude (mountain) sickness, to reduce fluid build-up (oedema) caused by heart failure or certain medicines, as an add-on treatment for certain types of seizures, and to reduce pressure around the brain in a condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Daymox Capsule should be taken in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, though taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset. You should inform your doctor about your complete medical history, especially any kidney, liver or adrenal gland problems, before starting Daymox Capsule.

Uses

It is also used to prevent and treat altitude sickness, to reduce fluid retention (oedema) linked to heart failure or certain medicines, as an add-on therapy for some types of seizures, and to lower pressure around the brain in idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
