Medicine Description oratrol 50mg
Oratrol 50mg Tablets is a medication that acts as a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. By inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, it reduces the production of bicarbonate, which in turn decreases aqueous humor secretion in the eye. This leads to a reduction in intraocular pressure, which may help in protecting the optic nerve from damage. Additionally, this action can assist in controlling fluid retention in the body by altering renal handling of bicarbonate and fluid balance, thereby aiding in conditions associated with excessive fluid accumulation.
