• kids taking acetazolomide pills

• My ten year old son has a severe impairment from retinoschisis. One doctor is recommending a high dose of the pill form of acetazolamide, also known as methalzolomide and other names. Some people report using the drop form with good effects.
  Has anyone used the pill or drop form with good effects on a child, or on a child or adult with serious visual acuity / schisis cavity problems? Are there side effects you've experienced?
  Thank you,
  Barrie

• Barrie,
  
  I have concerns about the pill form of dorzolamide and you should read the patient information sheet carefully. According to my doctor, because of how the drops are applied the actual chemical getting into the system is small and therefore much safer than the pill. I would only consider the pill after taking the drop for some time to fully receive the benefit. And I would only take the pills if the side effect were minimal and easily tolerated. I did take the pills and they were not tolerated. Get another opinion and consider contacting Dr Fishman in Chicago. Good lunck and keep in touch. MikeP
