I have been prescribed Diamox 250mg 4 times a day for pseudotumor cerebri, but I am pregnant. Is there any danger for my unborn baby? Thank you.

Hello! Some sources mention that there is little data on the use of acetazolamide (Diamox) in pregnancy. However, specialized sources on the use of drugs in pregnancy and lactation indicate that this drug is compatible with pregnancy. There are no reports of direct adverse effects to the mother or fetus when this drug was used. In conclusion, the benefits outweigh the risks for this drug.
