Acetazolamide
別名: Diamox
Acetazolamide is used to decrease pressure inside the eye for pets with **glaucoma**. * Ensure your pet always has access to fresh drinking water, as this medication will increase urination. * May cause stomach upset; giving with food can help. * Contact your veterinarian if you notice severe weakness, lethargy, vomiting, or rapid breathing, as these could be signs of low potassium or changes in blood acidity.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
