[QUOTE="WeekendWarrior, post: 2220132, member: 117901"] It will not prevent, help, or do anything for altitude sickness. If you want to try something, talk to your PCP and get a script for acetazolamide, which you can take prophylactically to prevent pulmonary and cerebral edema and altitude sickness. Dexamethasone can help once you are sick, and to a lesser extent some people are trying meds like viagra to send blood to other places to limit the effects of pulmonary edema and there is a little research to support this... but remember, you are coming to CO to hunt the rut, not partake in it. heeheehee Meds aside, get to 5-6k a few days early (ie Denver). Drink a lot of water with a high potassium electrolyte replacement powder and do some light hiking. Give your body a chance to acclimatize. edited to add a couple typos. [/QUOTE]
