Medical Conditions - Acetazolamide

Acetazolamide is a drug that belongs to the category of diuretic medications. It turns the blood acidic with its action, so that excess water from cells and tissues is pulled back into the blood and removed from the body via urine. This way, it helps reduce blood pressure, the pressure inside the eye (glaucoma), and pressure inside the head. It may be used in seizures, altitude sickness, and heart failure also.
