About Acetazolamide

What is acetazolamide (generic Diamox)?
Acetazolamide (generic Diamox) is a prescription medication classified as a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It helps reduce fluid buildup and pressure in the eyes, brain, and other parts of the body. As a result, it’s commonly used to treat glaucoma, epilepsy, altitude sickness, and certain forms of edema.

This medication works by lowering the production of specific bodily fluids, which helps decrease intraocular pressure and fluid retention. It also adjusts the body’s acid-base balance, which may prevent seizures and support adaptation to high altitudes.

Acetazolamide comes in oral tablet form and is typically taken by mouth. Dosage and treatment length depend on your condition and how you respond to the medication.

How to get an Acetazolamide prescription online?

Obtaining an acetazolamide prescription online through Klarity Health is straightforward:

  • Schedule a virtual consultation with a licensed healthcare provider.
  • Talk with the provider about your symptoms and medical history
  • If deemed medically appropriate, the provider will issue a prescription.

How does Acetazolamide compare to other medications?

When deciding on treatment for glaucoma, epilepsy, or altitude sickness, it’s helpful to compare acetazolamide to similar medications:
