๐งฌ What is Iopar SR (Acetazolamide 250mg)?
Iopar SR contains Acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used for multiple medical conditions, including glaucoma, certain types of epilepsy, acute mountain sickness, and fluid retention caused by congestive heart failure or medications. This sustained-release (SR) formulation ensures gradual and prolonged action.
Manufactured by FDC Ltd, a reputable Indian pharmaceutical company, Iopar SR is often prescribed when steady blood levels of acetazolamide are needed to manage chronic or high-altitude conditions effectively.
