Atzol Tablet offers the following medicinal benefits:

For glaucoma:

• Decreases the production of fluid (aqueous humour) in the eye
• Lowers intraocular pressure in the eye.
• Used as the treatment of choice for glaucoma that does not respond adequately to other therapies.

For oedema:

• Reduces swelling caused by excess fluid buildup in people with congestive heart failure.
• Treat drug-induced oedema (fluid retention caused by certain medications).

For epilepsy:

• Used as an adjunctive therapy for certain types of seizures, such as tonic-clonic and absence seizures.
• Helps slow down abnormal nerve activity in the brain nerve cells, thereby helping to control seizures.

For Mountain Sickness:

• Reduces the severity and shortens the duration of mountain sickness symptoms, such as headache, stomach upset, fatigue, shortness of breath, drowsiness, and dizziness.

• Atzol Tablet can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with food may help prevent stomach upset.
• It is usually taken 2-3 times daily or as advised by your doctor.
• Swallow Atzol Tablet as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew, or break it.

Glaucoma:

• Avoid baked and fried foods, as they may worsen glaucoma and damage the optic nerve.
• Limit coffee intake, as it may increase eye pressure. Opt for green tea instead.
• Avoid exercises where head position is lower than the body (e.g., inverted yoga poses), as this may increase pressure in the eye.

Epilepsy:

• Exercise regularly and get adequate rest and sleep.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
• Practice meditation and yoga to reduce stress and improve coping skills.
• Identify and avoid seizure triggers, and have a seizure response plan.
• Make adjustments at home to help reduce the risk of injury during a seizure.
• Use alarms or emergency devices to get assistance during a seizure attack.

Oedema:

• Limit salt and refined carbohydrates.
• Include magnesium-rich foods (nuts, dark chocolate), vitamin B6-rich foods (bananas, walnuts), and potassium-rich foods (avocados, tomatoes).
• Regular walking helps reduce fluid retention.

Mountain sickness:

• Ascend gradually to higher altitudes and try not to climb too quickly.
• Stay well-hydrated and avoid alcohol and caffeine.
• Eat foods like fruits, rice, and bread, which provide energy and are easier to digest at high altitudes.
• Rest well for the first 24-48 hours at a new altitude, and gradually increase activity as you adjust.

• Do not take Atzol Tablet if you are allergic to any of its contents or if you have severe kidney/liver problems, chronic non-congestive angle-closure glaucoma, or Addison’s disease.
• Inform your doctor if you have kidney stones, electrolyte imbalance, adrenal gland problems, diabetes, or heart/lung problems.
• Do not take Atzol Tablet if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant.
• Consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding.
