Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Diamox (acetazolamide) and Betadine (povidone-iodine). Common drug interactions include rash papular among females and corneal disorder among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Diamox and Betadine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
