Methazolamide Uses
Methazolamide is a prescription drug that helps with the treatment of intraocular pressure in patients with certain types of glaucoma. It can also be used for treating congestive heart failure as it can help reduce the build-up of fluid (edema) in the body. It can also be used for treating seizures and preventing altitude sickness.
It belongs to a drug class called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, which work by blocking the activity of a protein called carbonic anhydrase. Doing so, it reduces the pressure in the eye.
