Introduction About DUPRESS TABLET

DUPRESS TABLET 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 DUPRESS TABLET is suitable for you. Tell your doctor if you are due to have any medical tests, as DUPRESS TABLET may interfere with these tests.

Before taking DUPRESS TABLET, 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.

DUPRESS TABLET 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 DUPRESS TABLET will be decided by the doctor, according to the patient’s body weight.

A small number of people being managed with medicines like DUPRESS TABLET 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 DUPRESS TABLET are extreme tiredness, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Consult your physician if any of the symptoms worsen over time.

How DUPRESS TABLET Works

DUPRESS TABLET 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. DUPRESS TABLET 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.
