Acute mountain sickness
Acute altitude sickness is a variety of pathological reactions produced by the human body after rapid exposure to a low oxygen environment. It is a common disease unique to plateau areas. At present, the naming and classification of acute mountain sickness are basically unified at home and abroad. According to the clinical symptoms and condition of the disease, the International High Altitude Sickness Professional Conference divides it into mild, moderate and severe acute mountain sickness. Mild (I degree): Although there are symptoms, they can move normally and can continue to climb mountains; moderate (II degree): There are severe symptoms, decreased mobility, cannot continue to climb mountains, and need to rest in bed; severe (III degree): The disease progresses and serious symptoms such as confusion appear, requiring emergency treatment and escort to the plain or low altitude.

Glaucoma
Acetazolamide should be used as an adjunct to the usual therapy. The dosage employed in the treatment of chronic simple (open-angle) glaucoma In treatment of secondary glaucoma and in the preoperative treatment of some cases of acute congestive (closed-angle) glaucoma
Epilepsy
It is not clearly known whether the beneficial effects observed in epilepsy are due to direct inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in the central nervous system or whether they are due to the slight degree of acidosis produced by the divided dosage. The best results to date have been seen in petit mal in pediatric patients. Good results, however, have been seen in patients, both pediatric patients and adult, in other types of seizures such as grand mal, mixed seizure patterns, myoclonic jerk patterns, etc. The suggested total daily dose is 8 to 30 mg per kg in divided doses. Although some patients respond to a low dose, the optimum range appears to be from 375 to 1000 mg daily. However, some investigators feel that daily doses in excess of 1 g do not produce any better results than a 1 g dose. When acetazolamide tablets are given in combination with other anticonvulsants, it is suggested that the starting dose should be 250 mg once daily in addition to the existing medications. This can be increased to levels as indicated above. The change from other medications to acetazolamide should be gradual and in accordance with usual practice in epilepsy therapy.
