What is another word for Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors?
Pronunciation: [kɑːbˈɒnɪk ˈanha͡ɪdɹˌe͡ɪz ɪnhˈɪbɪtəz] (IPA) 
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are drugs used for various clinical conditions, including glaucoma, epilepsy, and altitude sickness. In scientific literature, synonyms for carbonic anhydrase inhibitors include CAIs, carbonic anhydrase deactivators, and carbonic anhydrase suppressors. The term CAIs is commonly used in clinical settings to refer to this group of medicines. Carbonic anhydrase deactivators is a less widely used synonym for carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. The term carbonic anhydrase suppressors is sometimes used but not as commonly as CAIs. Regardless of the term used, the mechanism of action for carbonic anhydrase inhibitors is to suppress the activity of the carbonic anhydrase enzyme, which ultimately lowers intraocular pressure or decreases seizure activity.
