1. What is Diamox and what is it used for
Diamox contains the active ingredient acetazolamide, a diuretic that belongs to the sulfonamide class
and works by increasing urine excretion.
Diamox is used for:
- the treatment of fluid retention in the body (edema) caused by heart failure;
- the treatment of increased pressure in the eyes (glaucoma);
- the treatment of swelling in the eyes caused by fluid accumulation;
- the treatment of epilepsy together with other medications.
- Prevention of acute mountain sickness.
2. What you need to know before taking Diamox
DO NOT take Diamox
- if you are allergic to acetazolamide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you suffer from excessive acid production with nausea and vomiting (hyperchloremic acidosis);
- if you have low levels of potassium in your blood;
- if you have low levels of sodium in your blood;
- if you have kidney failure;
- if you have liver failure, including cirrhosis (chronic liver inflammation);
- if you have adrenal gland insufficiency;
- if you suffer from chronic non-congestive angle-closure glaucoma (a type of eye disorder caused by increased pressure in the eyes);
- during pregnancy and breastfeeding (see section “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”).
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Diamox.
The doctor will perform tests to check for possible effects of acetazolamide on the metabolism and cells in the blood (such as sodium, potassium, white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, glucose).
Also, tell your doctor if you have suicidal thoughts or behaviors during treatment. The doctor will keep
you under close control and assess the need to give you appropriate treatment.
Pay particular attention with Diamox and talk to your doctor:
- if you have kidney damage and suffer from a heart condition;
- if you suffer from chronic obstructive bronchopneumonia and emphysema (respiratory diseases affecting the lungs and bronchi and causing difficulty breathing);
- if you suffer from reduced alveolar ventilation (a respiratory disorder that reduces air exchange in the lungs);
- if you are taking high doses of aspirin;
- if your kidney function is reduced;
- if you suffer from or have suffered from kidney stones;
- if you have diabetes mellitus or reduced sugar tolerance;
- if you are an elderly patient with reduced kidney function.
If severe forms of altitude sickness occur, for example, pulmonary edema or cerebral edema
from altitude, when ascending rapidly and using acetazolamide, this does not eliminate the possibility of
a rapid descent.
If severe allergic reactions occur, stop treatment and see your doctor.
Children and adolescents
Currently, there are no adequate studies on the safety and efficacy of acetazolamide in children and
adolescents.
The doctor will carefully monitor the growth and development of children and adolescents undergoing
prolonged treatment.
Other medicines and Diamox
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other
medicines.
In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking or before taking:
- medicines containing mercury (to increase urine production);
- miotics (to constrict the pupil and lower eye pressure);
- carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone (for the treatment of epilepsy);
- antihypertensives (for the treatment of high blood pressure);

Diamox can also interfere with laboratory tests and other diagnostic tests: tell your doctor before
performing any examination.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding with breast
milk, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
Currently, there are no adequate studies on pregnant women.
If you are pregnant, the doctor will assess whether the benefits for you clearly outweigh the risks to the fetus/child
before prescribing Diamox.
Breastfeeding
If you are breastfeeding, the doctor will assess whether the benefits for you clearly outweigh the risks to the
fetus/child before prescribing Diamox, due to the possibility of developing serious adverse reactions.
Driving and using machines
Diamox can cause drowsiness and confusion.
If these effects occur, do not drive or use machines until they disappear.
For athletes
The use of the drug without therapeutic necessity constitutes doping and may still result in a positive
anti-doping test.
3. How to take Diamox
Take this medicine following exactly the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist. If you have
any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Dosage
The doctor will assess the most suitable dose for you based on your weight and the condition to be treated.
- To increase urine production: from one tablet to one and a half tablets, once a day in the morning.
- For the treatment of glaucoma: one tablet every 4 - 6 hours (from 4 to 6 tablets in 24 hours). In some cases, the doctor may reduce the dose to one tablet every 8 - 12 hours (from 2 to 3 tablets in 24 hours). In acute cases of particular severity, the doctor may start treatment with 2 tablets, followed by one tablet every 4 - 6 hours.
- For the treatment of epilepsy: from one and a half tablets to 4 tablets in 24 hours. If Diamox replaces an ongoing epilepsy treatment, or is taken in addition to such treatment: the doctor will start you on one tablet a day and increase the daily dose of Diamox until reaching the recommended doses indicated above.
- For the prevention of acute mountain sickness: one tablet a day.
If you take more Diamox than you should
In case of accidental ingestion or use of an excessive dose of Diamox, immediately inform your doctor
or go to the nearest hospital.
The doctor will treat the ingestion of an excessive dose of Diamox based on your condition.
If you forget to take Diamox

If you forget a dose, resume treatment according to the doses and times recommended by your doctor.
