Should I plan to take Diamox on Kili ?

Any attempt of summiting above 3000m is associated Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), or “altitude illness” is the major concern with climbing Kilimanjaro.

We recommend that our climbers consider taking acetazolamide (Diamox) to help them acclimatize. Diamox is well-studied and proven safe (barring an allergy to Sulfa drugs) as a prophylaxis and as a treatment for AMS. It increases respiration and thus increases the amount of oxygen to the brain and other vital organs, especially during sleep. It mimics what your body would be doing after a few days at altitude, and it promotes better sleep.

The only drawback is its diuretic effect, and thus the need to stay well-hydrated at all times, we high emphasis to drink at least 2litres of water and above per day. Also, you can consult your doctor on how you can use it, also our guides are having first aid training so they can instruct you on how to use the pills.
