Patient tolerance to carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

Am J Ophthalmol. 1978 Apr;85(4):495-502. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9394(14)75247-x.

Abstract

We evaluated carbonic anhydrase inhibitors in a crossover study with a placebo and random allocation of treatment administration. Drugs evaluated included acetazolamide tablets and Sequels, dichlorphenamide, ethoxzolamide, methazolamide, and an ascorbic acid placebo. The best tolerated drug was acetazolamide Sequels. Methazolamide was next. The least tolerated drugs were ethoxzolamide, acetazolamide tablets, and dichlorphenamide.
