A member asked:
My doctor thinks my blood has become too acidic on acetazolamide - i take 1, 000 mg a day. i just had another blood test run. thoughts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood ph: Acetozolamide causes the kidney to excrete bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) which can change blood ph. This can produce a serious derangement of metabolism. Generally a reduction in dosage can be effective. You need to heed you physicians recommendations or seek additional expertise.
