Introduction About IOPAR SR CAPSULE

IOPAR SR CAPSULE contains Acetazolamide, which belongs to the group of medicines called Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors. It is used in the management of glaucoma, retention of fluids in the body, and epilepsy (fits). Glaucoma is a condition of the eyes that can result in loss of vision and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of the eye called the optic nerve.

Before starting with the management, your doctor may advise you to undergo some blood tests to check if management with IOPAR SR CAPSULE is suitable for you. Tell your doctor if you are due to have any medical tests, as IOPAR SR CAPSULE may interfere with these tests.

Before taking IOPAR SR CAPSULE, inform your doctor if you have or ever had severe kidney, liver, or lung problems, chronic non-congestive angle closure glaucoma, reduced function of adrenal glands (Addison’s disease), low sodium/potassium levels, or high chlorine levels in the blood.

IOPAR SR CAPSULE is not recommended for use in pregnancy and should be taken with consultation of a doctor during breastfeeding. In children and adolescents, the correct dose of IOPAR SR CAPSULE will be decided by the doctor, according to the patient’s body weight.

A small number of people being managed with medicines like IOPAR SR CAPSULE have had thoughts of harming or killing themselves. If you experience anything like that, immediately contact your doctor. The most common side effects of taking IOPAR SR CAPSULE are extreme tiredness, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Consult your physician if any of the symptoms worsen over time.

How IOPAR SR CAPSULE Works

IOPAR SR CAPSULE effectively manages glaucoma by blocking an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase that reduces the production of aqueous humor (fluid in the eye) and lowers the intraocular (eye) pressure. It controls epilepsy (fits) by directly blocking an enzyme in the central nervous system, hence increasing the oxygen level of the body. IOPAR SR CAPSULE also acts on certain parts of the kidneys, which increases the excretion of certain substances through urine, which helps in the release of retained fluid in the body and hence relieves fluid retention.

How To Manage Side Effects

Diarrhea

Drinking plenty of water and other electrolyte-balanced fluids (like diluted fruit juices, broths, sports drinks, and caffeine-free sodas) will help with hydration. Try to eat less high-fat foods, like meat, eggs, and cheese. Exercise more regularly. If the diarrhea persists, contact your doctor.

Nausea And Vomiting

Take IOPAR SR CAPSULE with, or just after meals. Stick to simple meals. Try to avoid oil-rich or spicy foods, sugary snacks, and aerated drinks. Avoid drinking too much liquid or water along with your meals, and slowly drink in between meals. If the nausea and vomiting persist, contact your doctor.

Skin rash Or Itching

Avoid hot showers, as they can further irritate your skin. Do not scratch the affected area. Use protective clothing when going outdoors. Regularly moisturize your skin. If the skin rash persists, contact your doctor.
