Which Among Dexamethasone Or Diamox Is Safe For Use At High Altitude ?
I was prescribed dexamethasone for use at high altitude (12,500 ft.) but I already have diamox from another prescription. Which is safest to use. I will be a high altitude only 3 days in Tibet.
Thank you

Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.
Both diamox and dexamethsone are safe at high altitude. It depends on your profile and any disease that you are having. If you are having peptic ulcer disease, tuberculosis, high blood pressure, electrolyte disturbance than you shold not take the dexamethasone.
Diamox is comparatively safe.
