absorbed orally, 90% bound to plasma proteins, secreted into lumen at prox. tubule by organic acid transporter and is excreted unchanged, can be given IV or IM
1. 2nd line treatment of open-angle glaucoma (beta antagonists are first line)
2. urinary alkalinization: renal excretion of uric acid and other weak acids can be enhanced by increasing the pH of the urine – prolonged therapy requires bicarb administration
3. Metabolic alkalosis: can correct the alkalosis due to excessive use of loop or thiazide diuretics (cause excessive H+ secretion), especially useful in patient with heart failure
4. Acute mountain sickness: prophylactically to help prevent this form of respiratory alkalosis
