酶抑制剂乙酰唑胺片的正确使用方法及用量？

Acetazolamide tablets are oral tablets, so patients need to take them orally. Acetazolamide tablets can be used to improve altitude sickness, treat glaucoma, etc. The recommended dosage is different for different uses. It is recommended that patients determine the specific dosage according to their own condition under the guidance of a doctor.

Uses of Acetazolamide Tablets

1. Altitude Sickness: Used to prevent and reduce the symptoms of altitude sickness. This medication reduces headaches, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath that may occur when climbing rapidly to high altitudes (usually above 10,000 feet/3,048 meters). The best way to prevent altitude sickness is to climb slowly, stopping for 24 hours during the climb to allow your body to adapt to the new altitude, and to relax for the first 1 to 2 days.

2. Glaucoma: Acetazolamide tablets can also be used together with other drugs to treat certain types of glaucoma that cause high pressure in the eye. Acetazolamide belongs to a class of drugs called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. It works by reducing the production of fluid in the eye. It is also used to reduce fluid accumulation (edema) in the body caused by heart failure or certain medications. Acetazolamide becomes less effective over time, so it is usually only used short-term.

2. Epilepsy: Acetazolamide tablets have also been used with other drugs to treat certain types of epileptic seizures (petit mal and non-localized seizures).

Correct administration method of acetazolamide tablets

1. Ingredients of oral tablets: Acetazolamide tablets are oral tablets, containing 125mg and 250mg acetazolamide respectively and the following inactive ingredients: corn starch, calcium hydrogen phosphate, magnesium stearate, povidone and sodium carboxymethyl starch.

2. Oral administration: Patients should take the medication orally according to the doctor's instructions, usually 1 to 4 times a day. It is recommended that patients take the medication at about the same time every day. Acetazolamide tablets can be taken with food or alone

3. Swallow the whole tablet: Patients should not break or chew the tablets. Doing so will destroy the effect of the drug and may increase side effects and affect the therapeutic effect.

Recommended dosage

1. Acute mountain sickness: The recommended dosage is 500mg-1000mg per day. To prevent altitude sickness, start taking acetazolamide tablets 1 to 2 days before starting to climb. Continue taking it during climbing and for at least 48 hours after reaching final altitude. In situations of rapid rise such as rescue or military operations, the higher dose level of 1000mg is recommended.

2. Glaucoma: For patients with glaucoma, acetazolamide tablets can be an auxiliary treatment for conventional treatment. The usual dosage for treating chronic simple (open-angle) glaucoma is 250 mg to 1 gram.

3. Drug-induced edema: It is recommended to take 250-375 mg per day, once a day, for 1-2 consecutive days, with an interval of one day.

4. Epilepsy: The recommended total daily dosage is 8 to 30 mg/kg. Although some patients respond to lower doses, the optimal dose is 375-1000 mg/day.

5. Congestive heart failure: For diuresis in congestive heart failure, the starting dose is generally 250-375 mg once a day.

The above drug usage and dosage are from the U.S. FDA drug instructions. They are for reference only and do not serve as medication guidance. Patients should follow the doctor's instructions for specific usage and dosage.

Summary

It is recommended that patients use the medicine correctly under the guidance of a doctor and take it on time and in the dosage. This medication may not work as well when used for a long time. Therefore, the condition should be monitored during treatment, and if the condition does not improve or worsens (for example, seizures become more frequent), a doctor should be consulted promptly.
