Diamox is a glaucoma medication, but helps people with AMS. Dosages for altitude are far lower than for glaucoma, so do NOT take the 500 mg twice a day, if the Rx says that.
For altitude, people will take 1/4 (or 1/2) of a 250 mg tab once or twice a day. Here's the link, where Diamox is first mentioned in that thread
Kilimanjaro Trip Report (Jan. 8-17, 2012)I take 125 mg (1/2 tablet) twice a day starting the day before I hike.
Dustin, sorry to hijack your great trip report. ...back to the main topic: Dustin, do you have any pictures of your trail runners with crampons?
