Everest base camp & Diamox whilst taking keppra
Fri, 09/09/2016 - 02:24Topic: Medication Issues
I'm looking for some advice. I'm due to do everest base camp trek in September and there's a lot of recommendations to take diamox to prevent altitude sickness. Do any of the members on here have any experience with this drug whilst also taking their day to day medication... I've got petit mal epilepsy, am 8 years seizure free and am currently taking Keppra (500mg twice daily). Any help / advice greatly appreciated. Thanks Zoe
