Findings on Altitude Sickness Reported by Investigators at Army Medical University (The Efficacy of Methazolamide Combined With Ibuprofen for Treating Acute Mountain Sickness).

A study conducted at Army Medical University in Chongqing, China, explored the efficacy of ibuprofen, acetazolamide, and methazolamide in preventing acute mountain sickness (AMS) among mountaineers. The research involved 137 participants divided into six groups, with acetazolamide showing significant prophylactic effects on AMS symptoms and ibuprofen being most effective in preventing headaches. The study concluded that ibuprofen combined with methazolamide was less effective than ibuprofen alone in preventing AMS. This peer-reviewed research provides valuable insights for the future development of drugs to prevent AMS. [Extracted from the article]
