Some drugs, such as the two-substituted thiodiazole and acetazolamide (Diamox), increase serum uric acid by stimulating uric acid synthesis (K9). Others, such as chlorothiazide (Diuril), increase uric acid retention by decreasing uric acid excretion (K9). Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits tubular secretion and has been shown to increase pretreatment mean uric acid values from 6.5 mg/100 ml to 10.3 mg/100 ml by the third treatment day. In a patient with gout, the level increased from 8 mg/100 ml to 12 mg/100 ml (H6). In a single case a paradoxical hypouricemia occurred (H6).

In the treatment of all types of glaucoma, acetazolamide is the most widely used orally administered CAI. Acetazolamide is commercially arailable as 125- and 250-mg tablets, 500-mg sustained-release capsules (Diamox Sequels), and a 500-mg vial formulated for parenteral administration. In glaucoma therapy in adults, acetazolamide is usually administered in doses of 250 mg every 6 hours or a single 500-mg sustained-release capsule twice daily. The recommended acetazolamide dose for children is 5 to 10 mg/kg body weight, administered every 4 to 6 hours.
