Diamox Tablet helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduce the risk of vision loss. Usually used in combination with other anti-glaucoma medications. Take it as per dose and duration suggested by your doctor. Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration as Diamox Tablet can make you very drowsy. It may cause a tingling sensation in hands and feet. Take potassium-rich foods (banana and coconut water) and get potassium levels checked regularly.
