Side effects are generally mild and may include bruising at the IV site, temporary nausea, lightheadedness, or flushing. Serious reactions are rare. We screen for allergies and medical contraindications to minimize risk—notify staff of any medication or health concerns beforehand.

For preventive benefit, schedule infusion 24–48 hours before arrival at altitude. For acute symptoms after ascent, receive treatment as soon as possible. Our clinicians can advise timing based on your itinerary, fitness level, and prior altitude experience.
