Cade + Acetazolamide
Acetazolamide brand names: Diamox, Ak-Zol.
We found no known interaction between Cade and Acetazolamide in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.
Cade and Acetazolamide
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Acetazolamide and Cade in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Cade at all — not against Acetazolamide, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Acetazolamide page
“Acetazolamide, taken for glaucoma, altitude sickness, and certain seizure types, works partly as a diuretic and can make people drowsy, and most of the supplements that interact with it press on one of those two points. The biggest group adds to its blood-pressure and fluid effects, a second deepens sedation (alcohol and kava sit at th…”

About Cade
What is Cade?
- Psoriasis and eczema
- Itchy or scaly scalp (dandruff)
- Minor skin irritation
- Antiseptic for the skin
- Hair and scalp care
Cade oil (juniper tar) is a dark, tar-like oil distilled from the wood of the prickly juniper and is used almost entirely on the skin and scalp for conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and dandruff. Good-quality human research is limited, and there are real safety concerns, so it should only be used on the skin, carefully and in small amounts. Talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using it, and never take it by mouth.

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Cade is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Cade record says about it on its own.
Cade: dosing
There is no established standard dose for cade oil. It is most often found already mixed into shampoos, soaps, creams, or ointments at low concentrations rather than used as a pure oil.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not apply more or more often than recommended.

About Acetazolamide
What Is Acetazolamide Used For?
Brand names: Diamox, Ak-Zol
Acetazolamide is used as an add-on treatment for several conditions. Across tablets and the intravenous injection, it treats glaucoma (including open-angle and secondary glaucoma, and before surgery for acute angle-closure glaucoma), certain types of epilepsy (centrencephalic seizures, including petit mal), edema (fluid buildup) due to congestive heart failure, and drug-induced edema.
Acetazolamide extended-release capsules are specifically indicated for the prevention or reduction of acute mountain sickness symptoms — such as headache, nausea, and dizziness — in climbers attempting rapid ascent. Acetazolamide tablets and the intravenous injection are also indicated for acute mountain sickness.

Acetazolamide Is Linked to Lower Levels of 8 Nutrients
Natural Medicines records Acetazolamide as a medicine that can lower these. This is not an interaction with Cade — it is a separate effect of the medicine, and it is a reason some people are advised to supplement rather than to avoid one:
