Diamox 250 MG Description

Diamox tablets are used for the treatment of an eye condition called glaucoma. It is a condition, where the nerve that connects our eye to our brain is injured mainly because of high eye pressure. It

can also cause blindness if not treated early. Diamox tablet contains acetazolamide as the active ingredient. Diamox works by reducing the production of fluid in the eye and thus reduces the pressure inside the eye. Take this medicine as advised by your doctor for the prescribed duration. Inform your doctor about all medical conditions along with medications you are currently taking or had recently.
