Identification
- Summary
Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to treat edema from heart failure or medications, certain types of epilepsy, and glaucoma.
- Generic Name
- Acetazolamide
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB00819
- Background
One of the carbonic anhydrase inhibitors that is sometimes effective against absence seizures. It is sometimes useful also as an adjunct in the treatment of tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and atonic seizures, particularly in women whose seizures occur or are exacerbated at specific times in the menstrual cycle. However, its usefulness is transient often because of rapid development of tolerance. Its antiepileptic effect may be due to its inhibitory effect on brain carbonic anhydrase, which leads to an increased transneuronal chloride gradient, increased chloride current, and increased inhibition. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1991, p337)

Acetazolamide is a potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, effective in the control of fluid secretion, in the treatment of certain convulsive disorders and in the promotion of diuresis in instances of abnormal fluid retention. Acetazolamide is not a mercurial diuretic. Rather, it is a nonbacteriostatic sulfonamide possessing a chemical structure and pharmacological activity distinctly different from the bacteriostatic sulfonamides.
- Mechanism of action
The anticonvulsant activity of Acetazolamide may depend on a direct inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in the CNS, which decreases carbon dioxide tension in the pulmonary alveoli, thus increasing arterial oxygen tension. The diuretic effect depends on the inhibition of carbonic anhydrase, causing a reduction in the availability of hydrogen ions for active transport in the renal tubule lumen. This leads to alkaline urine and an increase in the excretion of bicarbonate, sodium, potassium, and water.

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your software1,2-Benzodiazepine The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Acetazolamide is combined with 1,2-Benzodiazepine. Abacavir Acetazolamide may increase the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy. Abemaciclib The metabolism of Abemaciclib can be decreased when combined with Acetazolamide. Acalabrutinib The metabolism of Acalabrutinib can be decreased when combined with Acetazolamide. Acarbose The therapeutic efficacy of Acarbose can be increased when used in combination with Acetazolamide. Aceclofenac Acetazolamide may increase the excretion rate of Aceclofenac which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy. Acemetacin The therapeutic efficacy of Acetazolamide can be decreased when used in combination with Acemetacin. Acenocoumarol The serum concentration of Acenocoumarol can be increased when it is combined with Acetazolamide. Acetaminophen Acetazolamide may increase the excretion rate of Acetaminophen which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy. Acetohexamide The therapeutic efficacy of Acetohexamide can be increased when used in combination with Acetazolamide.
