[QUOTE="Ragnarnar, post: 1322509, member: 98218"] Not a doctor, but a drug enthusiast here. Acetazolamide has too many potential side effects for my liking, and as a diuretic it makes it difficult to hydrate, which is obviously important if exercising strenuously at altitude. And you need a doctors script to get it. Ibuprofen, which you probably already have in your kit is just as effective at preventing and treating altitude sickness, has fewer side effects and is available everywhere. Be aware it may cause issues with your stomach, but you'd probably know already if it did. Talk to your doctor, cause I'm not one. Here are some papers on it.
