Consumer:If you are using acetaZOLAMIDE for the prevention of altitude sickness, you should talk to your doctor before using clonazePAM. Combining these medications may reduce the effectiveness of acetaZOLAMIDE for this purpose. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Benzodiazepines may counteract the beneficial effects of acetazolamide in preventing altitude sickness by inhibiting respiratory responses to hypoxia. The medical team that accompanied the China-Japan-Nepal Friendship Expedition to Mount Everest in 1988 reports severe hypoventilation in some climbers when acetazolamide and triazolam were given together. One affected climber could be ordered to breath regularly, but repeatedly 'forgot' to continue breathing. This syndrome has been referred to as 'Ondine's curse'.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is recommended if a CAI and a benzodiazepine must be used together. Until more information is available, it may be prudent to avoid the concurrent use of triazolam and acetazolamide at extreme altitudes.
