Atzolsmile Tablet 15 contains Acetazolamide (250 mg), which acts on your body as follows:

• Reduces Intraocular Pressure: Acetazolamide inhibits an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase in your eyes, which leads to a decrease in the secretion of aqueous humour or eye fluid. This action helps reduce intraocular pressure and manage glaucoma.
• Controls Epileptic Seizures: By inhibiting carbonic anhydrase in the central nervous system, acetazolamide retards abnormal, excessive discharge from neurons, thus controlling epileptic seizures.
• Manages Fluid Retention: The medicine's effect on the kidneys enhances the excretion of water, sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate. This action aids in managing oedema or fluid retention in body tissues.

• If you are taking Atzolsmile Tablet 15 for glaucoma, regular eye exercises such as blinking and focusing on near and far objects can help maintain good eye health.
