Can acetazolamide cause a buzzing sensation in my face and hands?

Hi, and thank you for your question!

The symptom you are describing is a common side effect of acetazolamide. It is dose-dependent, meaning it is more pronounced at higher doses.

If this sensation is causing you trouble, please se your pharmacist to discuss this further. A dose adjustment might be required, even if it is temporary. Your pharmacist will be able to give you more information, document your file, communicate with the prescriber, and follow up with you more easily.

Hoping I've been helpful, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions!
