Hi everybody;
The dose being mentioned in prior comments (of 125mg and 62mg, 2x a day) is NOT an effective dose for "acclimatizing". What is perscribed per the doctor fallowed pharmicopia and very effective, is 500mg 2x a day.
In good health!
Oy. The reduced dose I described above IS "effective" for ME when climbing Whitney (62.5 once a day with no pre/dosing before altitude). Your experience may differ. Many of us have experienced, or read about, the negative consequences that may occur from taking large doses of diamox. People need to make their own responsible decisions based on appropriate medical consult, personal testing and experience, etc.
