How it works

Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Methazolamide). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
- Methazolamide therapy is contraindicated in situations in which sodium and/or potassium serum levels are depressed, in cases of marked kidney or liver disease or dysfunction, in adrenal gland failure, and in hyperchloremic acidosis.
- In patients with cirrhosis, use may precipitate the development of hepatic encephalopathy.
- Long-term administration of methazolamide is contraindicated in patients with angle-closure glaucoma, since organic closure of the angle may occur in spite of lowered intraocular pressure.
