5 Medications that Help Acclimatization & Combat Altitude Sickness (Very Effective)

If you’re planning to climb Kilimanjaro, then you are probably aware of the effects of altitude. Although it affects every person differently, chances are you will experience some symptoms of altitude sickness.

Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness or AMS, is caused by going too high too quickly.

It’s said that 75% of people will have some form of mild AMS above 10,000 feet. It’s hard, if not impossible, to predict who will get sick. Some people are just more susceptible than others due to their genetic makeup.

But there are OTC and prescription medications that are known to help acclimatization and treat AMS.
