干预措施: Placebo (Drug)
MEN - PLACEBO oral capsule
Placebo (capsules identically looking as acetazolamide capsules; 1 in the morning, 1 in the evening), orally. Medication starts 24 hours before ascent to 3600 m until the morning after the second night at 3600 m.
干预措施: Placebo (Drug)
MEN - ACETAZOLAMIDE oral capsule
Acetazolamide 250 mg/day (capsules @125 mg; 1 in the morning, 1 in the evening), orally. Medication starts 24 hours before ascent to 3600 m until the morning after the second night at 3600 m
