Can diamox (acetazolamide) suppress altitude sickness symptoms? took it & had minor altitude sickness symptoms. after 1 day of returning home vomited for 2wks. -10+lb
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vominting for 2 wks: Yes Diamox (acetazolamide) is sometimes used to prevent altitude sickness. Vomiting for two weeks does not sound like altitude sickness. It sounds more like infection. Better see your doctor for a check up.
