What does CAI stand for?

Some medications, such as fenfluramine, certain antidepressants, antacids and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, can also interact with phentermine and cause serious adverse effects.

Most affected individuals respond favorably to treatment with acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, that reduces the frequency of attacks.

PART II: DRUG DESIGN OF CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS AND ACTIVATORS.

Do not take phentermine weight loss pills if you are already taking any of the following: other weight loss pills, such as fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine; antidepressants, specifically serotonin specific reuptake inhibitors (sertraline, fluoxetine, escitalopram), tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, imipramine), and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (phenelzine, isocarboxacid); carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, such as acetazolamide; medications for asthma and allergies; antacids; stimulants of the central nervous system, such as amphetamine and methylphenidate; illicit drugs, such as cocaine; other medications, such as amantadine, guanethidine, guanadrel, caffeine, nabilone and chlophedianol, to name a few; and any herbal medications or dietary supplements.

Many medication classes contain this chemical entity including sulfonamide antimicrobials (eg, sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine, sulfacetamide), carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (eg, acetazolamide, methazolamide), sulfonylureas (eg, glyburide, glipizide), diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide, chlorthalidone, furosemide, bumetanide), uricosurics (eg, probenecid), drugs for inflammatory bowel disease (eg, sulfasalazine), selective serotonin-1 receptor agonists (eg, sumatriptan), and the specific cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib.

Sales of TRUSOPT, the first carbonic anhydrase inhibitor made in a topical (eyedrop) formulation, have continued to grow due to its introduction in several new markets, making it one of the most widely prescribed anti-glaucoma medicines in the world.
