A member asked:
I get altitude sickness at just 6000 ft, does ibuprofen really help prevent getting altitude sickness? can you mix dramamine (dimenhydrinate) with ibuprofen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What has been: studied for high altitude sickness, ie, dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue is DIAMOX (acetazolamide). But it works mostly if one is above 10, 000 feet elevation. Reference: WebMD
