Description

Azm: An Overview
Active Ingredient: Azm contains acetazolamide, which is not an antidepressant but rather a medication with other uses.
Purpose:
Diuretic: Acetazolamide is primarily used as a diuretic (a substance that promotes urine production) to treat conditions like glaucoma and altitude sickness.
Other Uses: It may also be prescribed for certain neurological conditions, such as epilepsy and idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Mechanism of Action:
Acetazolamide works by inhibiting an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. This enzyme is involved in fluid balance and acid-base regulation in the body.
By blocking carbonic anhydrase, acetazolamide reduces fluid buildup and helps manage conditions related to increased pressure (e.g., in the eyes or brain).
Side Effects:
Common side effects include increased urination, tingling sensations, and changes in taste.
Rarely, more serious side effects may occur. Consult your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms.
