AboutDr. Tara Kompare, Pharm.D. Expertise I can answer a broad range of questions related to community pharmacy practice. My particular
interests include childrens` health and safe medication use for seniors. As the mother of two small children, I am quite knowledgable on many parenting issues from how to handle
a baby with colic to how to get kids to take their medicine. With regards to medication use in seniors, I can answer questions about adverse effects, drugs to generally avoid
in that population, and disease management issues.

Question Hello Can you please tell me what causes the diamox side tingling on extremeties and lips side effects.Is this to with less blood flow? or by what mechanism in the body does this happen.
Also,would you know what causes the tingling/numbness sensations when you get the strap tied tightly around your arm during blood collection?
Thankyou very much
Mary
Answer Hi Mary,
I have not heard of tingling in extremities/lips as a side effect of Diamox. I have heard of tingling of the lips as a symptom of a drug allergy however.
As far as the tingling during blood collection, it is due to lack of circulation to the affected area.
