Acetazolamide can be used to prevent and reduce symptoms of altitude illness. Acetazolamide may reduce symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness and shortness of breath that can occur when you climb rapidly to altitudes higher than 10,000 feet. This medicine can be used in cases where slow ascents are not possible. To prevent altitude sickness, you can climb slowly and stop for 24 hours to allow your body time to adjust to the new height. Then, take it easy the first day or two.
