Acetazolamide (brand names: Diamox®) is a diuretic and antiglaucoma agent, used primarily to treat glaucoma (increased eye pressure), syringomyelia (cyst that affects nervous system), and metabolic alkalosis. Its use in cats and dogs to treat glaucoma, syringomyelia, or metabolic alkalosis is ' off label ' or ' extra label '. Many drugs are commonly prescribed for off label use in veterinary medicine. In these instances, follow your veterinarian’s directions and cautions very carefully as their directions may be significantly different from those on the label.
