Acetazolamide
medication Under reviewA carbonic anhydrase inhibitor medication used to treat glaucoma, altitude sickness, epilepsy, and fluid retention.
Research summary
Scientific evidence from randomized controlled trials in healthy humans primarily supports acetazolamide's role in preventing acute mountain sickness and mitigating high-altitude physiological impairments during ascent. Studies demonstrate improvements in ventilation, tissue oxygenation, visuomotor performance, and pulmonary hemodynamics at simulated or real high altitudes, with consistent prophylactic benefits at doses of 125-375 mg daily. Consensus indicates it optimizes brain oxygenation and reduces inflammation markers under hypoxic conditions, though effects on baseline healthy states without altitude exposure remain limited.
