About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Iopar-SR Capsule contains Acetazolamide 250 mg, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor primarily used in the management of glaucoma, epilepsy, altitude sickness, and certain cases of edema. By inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, Acetazolamide reduces the formation of aqueous humor in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or secondary glaucoma. Additionally, it promotes renal bicarbonate diuresis, which contributes to its use in treating metabolic alkalosis and edema associated with congestive heart failure or drug-induced fluid retention. In neurology, Acetazolamide is employed as an adjunctive therapy for certain types of epilepsy, particularly absence seizures, due to its ability to modulate neuronal excitability. It is also effective in preventing and alleviating symptoms of acute mountain sickness by correcting acid-base balance and improving oxygen delivery. Iopar-SR Capsule is formulated for sustained release, ensuring prolonged therapeutic effects and improved patient compliance. The medication should be used under medical supervision, with caution advised in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, electrolyte imbalances, or sulfonamide hypersensitivity. Common adverse effects include paresthesia, gastrointestinal disturbances, polyuria, and potential electrolyte imbalance, necessitating periodic monitoring during therapy.
