Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are weaker diuretics that act by increasing the amount bicarbonate, sodium, potassium and water excreted from the kidney. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are also used to reduce fluid levels in the eye and is sometimes used off-label for altitude sickness. An example is
Acetazolamide
SE=
side effects of diuretics may include changes in potassium, sodium, calcium or magnesium blood levels, changes in heartbeat, you may have dizziness, headache, tiredness, dry mouth, gastric upset, gout, increase sugar levels or muscles cramps.
