Acetazolamide Market Is Booming Across the Globe Explored in Latest Research

Acetazolamide
is carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, used in adjuvant treatment of
chronic simple (open-angle) glaucoma, secondary glaucoma, and
preoperatively in acute angle-closure glaucoma, epilepsy, edema due
to congestive heart failure, drug-induced edema, and acute mountain
sickness in climbers. Acetazolamide promotes acclimatization to
altitude, increases bicarbonate secretion by the kidneys, induces
metabolic acidosis, and stimulates ventilation. Furthermore,
according to the BMJ Journal, September 2012, acetazolamide in doses
of 250 mg, 500 mg, and 750 mg daily are more effective compared to
placebo for preventing acute mountain sickness. In addition,
acetazolamide 250 mg daily is the lowest effective dose to prevent
acute mountain sickness.
Extended
Application of Acetazolamide in Various Treatment Modalities is
expected to Drive Market Growth during the Forecast Period
Acetazolamide is
used to prevent high altitude illness in most people, which is
characterized by headache, nausea, vomiting, and tiredness (often
called acute mountain sickness), but may affect the brain or the
lungs in different individuals. As per the study published in
Cochrane Journal, in June 2017, acetazolamide is an effective and
better treatment for the prevention of acute high altitude illness
(HAI) in dosages of 250 to 750 mg/day, when compared to a placebo.
Acetazolamide prevents acute mountain sickness and has fewer side
effects than alternative drugs such as dexamethasone. According to
BMJ journal, May 2018, prescribing acetazolamide for travel is an
optional service and not included in the general practitioner’s
contract in the U.K.

Increasing
Prevalence of Glaucoma among Global Population is expected to Aid in
Market Growth
Increasing
prevalence of glaucoma and associated risk factors such as high
myopia, diabetes, eye surgery or injury, high blood pressure,
increased usage of corticosteroids, and family history of glaucoma
among the global population are expected to offer conducive future
growth for acetazolamide drug manufacturers. As a sustained release
capsule of Acetazolamide taken a day, offers a substantial
pressure-lowering effect that lasts at least 23 hours. Treatment with
acetazolamide helps to reduce eye pressure, which aids in preventing
eye damage. Acetazolamide works by blocking the action of an enzyme
called carbonic anhydrase thereby, reducing the amount of fluid
secreted in the front part of eye, thus lowering eye pressure. For
instance, according to the study published in the Journal of
Ophthalmology (2014), an estimated 64.3 million people (aged 40-80
years) in 2013, were affected with glaucoma, which would increase to
76.0 million in 2020, and 111.8 million in 2040.
According to the
International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, 2017, glaucoma
is the second leading cause of blindness and leading cause of
irreversible blindness worldwide. With primary angle closure glaucoma
(PACG) being the most common in South-East Asia while primary
open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is mostly found among white Caucasians and
individuals of Africa.
Among region, Asia
Pacific is expected to be conducive region for the acetazolamide
market growth. This is mainly owing to growing healthcare
infrastructures, high prevalence of glaucoma, and associated risk
factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure cases among the
population of the region. For instance, according to American Academy
of Ophthalmology (AAO), November 2013, glaucoma is the most common
cause of preventable, irreversible blindness worldwide, among which
primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is responsible for 12.3% of
blindness. Furthermore, according to same source, POAG’s prevalence
is estimated to be the highest among the people of China,
intermediate in Japan, and lower in Europe and India. Therefore,
these driving factors are expected to propel growth of acetazolamide
market in Asia Pacific.
Key players
operating in the acetazolamide market include Teva Pharmaceutical

Limited), Heritage Pharmaceuticals Inc., Nostrum Laboratories Inc.,
Novast Laboratories Ltd., Cadila Healthcare (Zydus Pharmaceuticals
(USA) Inc.), Lannett Company, Inc., Strides Shasun Limited, and X-GEN
