Who requires this medication and for what specific purpose

Altitude sickness occurs when travelers ascend too quickly to elevations above 8,000 feet (2,500 meters), leading to headaches, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Without proper acclimatization, it can escalate to high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE)—both life-threatening.

  • Common Locations: Peru (Machu Picchu, Cusco), Nepal (Everest Base Camp), Colorado (Rocky Mountains), Tanzania (Mount Kilimanjaro), Switzerland (Alps)
  • Activities at Risk: Trekking, climbing, skiing, and traveling by air to high-altitude destinations.

Fast Facts

  • Symptoms include headaches, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath, often appearing within 6-12 hours of ascent.
  • Up to 50% of travelers experience some form of altitude sickness when ascending rapidly.
  • Higher risk for travelers who ascend too quickly without proper acclimatization.
