Altitude Sickness

Altitude sickness can spoil a trip fast — especially when you climb or fly to high elevations without enough time to acclimatise. MedCare Health Clinic offers a convenient Altitude Sickness Medicine option to help reduce the risk of symptoms like headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and disturbed sleep when travelling above 2,500m. The most commonly used preventive treatment is acetazolamide (Diamox), which supports faster acclimatisation by improving breathing and oxygen uptake at altitude.

If you’re planning a high-altitude trek, ski holiday, or mountain tour (or you’ve had altitude sickness before), a quick online consultation can help confirm whether altitude sickness tablets are suitable for you and how to use them safely. Alongside medication, we recommend practical prevention steps such as gradual ascent, rest days, hydration, and avoiding alcohol during the first 24–48 hours at altitude.
