    Author: Pattenden HA, Shah NM, Hillebrandt D, Rodger M, Windsor JS.
    Journal: J Travel Med; 2012 Jul; 19(4):250-2. PubMed ID: 22776387.
    Abstract:
    High altitude commercial expeditions are increasingly popular. As high altitude illnesses are common on ascent to altitude, this study aimed to ascertain whether medications for these conditions were carried by commercial operators who run high altitude expeditions. Despite recommendations, it appears that drugs to treat high altitude illnesses are not routinely carried by commercial operators.
