Diamox for altitude sickness

Diamox (Acetazolamide)

This particular medicine can primarily be used to treat altitude sickness, and it can also be used with a combination of other medicines to treat a type of eye problem known as open-eye glaucoma. The active ingredient, Acetazolamide, found in this particular medicine (Diamox) functions by lowering the level of fluid that can build up in your eye. Moreover, it also decreases the development of edema that can be caused by congestive heart failure. It basically acts as a “water pill.”

On the other hand, it is also used to prevent the symptoms that occur because of altitude sickness. These symptoms include tiredness, nausea, dizziness, headaches, and shortness of breath. Diamox generic is available online easily.
