醋甲唑胺

概览

Methazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to treat open angle glaucoma and acute angle closure glaucoma.

作用机制

Methazolamide is a potent inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase. Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye decreases aqueous humor secretion, presumably by slowing the formation of bicarbonate ions with subsequent reduction in sodium and fluid transport.

适应症

• Acute angle-closure glaucoma
• Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG)
