Acetazolamide belongs to a group of drugs called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and is used to treat the eye condition, glaucoma, and also in conditions causing fluid retention and epilepsy. Acetazolamide acts by inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which catalyses the reversible reaction involving the hydration of carbon dioxide and dehydration of carbonic acid.
