Low-dose methazolamide and intraocular pressure.

R A Stone, T J Zimmerman, D H Shin

    American Journal of Ophthalmology
    |May 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Oral methazolamide significantly lowered high intraocular pressure in patients. While acetazolamide provided a greater pressure reduction, it also caused more side effects and systemic acidosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a key risk factor for glaucoma.
    • Pharmacological interventions are crucial for managing increased IOP.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy and tolerability of oral methazolamide versus acetazolamide in patients with elevated IOP.

    Main Methods:

    • Sixteen patients with IOP > 20 mm Hg were treated with oral methazolamide (25 mg and 50 mg twice daily) in a crossover design.
    • Patients subsequently received acetazolamide (500 mg sustained-release).

    Main Results:

    • Both methazolamide regimens significantly reduced intraocular pressure.
    • Acetazolamide demonstrated a superior IOP-lowering effect compared to methazolamide.
    • Acetazolamide treatment was associated with increased systemic acidosis and adverse events.

    Conclusions:

    • Oral methazolamide is effective in reducing elevated intraocular pressure.
    • Acetazolamide offers greater IOP reduction but with a higher incidence of systemic side effects and acidosis.
