What dose of acetezolomide have you seen being beneficial most for iih? my 500mg doesn't seem enough, sx got better but seem worse?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acetazolamide: Dosing varies depending on the person being treated as people respond to the medication differently depending on many factors including disease severity and weight. The best way to ensure that you get the right dose is to work closely with your neurologist and to keep them updated on symptoms so that your medication dose can be adjusted as needed.
