FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

What medication does Runway Health prescribe for altitude sickness?

We prescribe Acetazolamide (generic Diamox) — the most widely recommended medication for altitude sickness prevention. Our physicians select the right dose based on your destination altitude and medical history.

When should I start taking Acetazolamide (Diamox) before my trip?

Most physicians recommend starting Acetazolamide 1–2 days before your ascent to altitude. Order early to ensure delivery before your trip.

Is the $30 consultation fee refundable?

If our physician determines you are not a candidate for the medication, you will receive a full refund of the consultation fee.

What is an online consultation?

Alongside a team of board-certified physicians, Runway has crafted an online questionnaire-based consultation that replicates those questions you may typically be asked at a brick-and-mortar travel clinic. You may initiate this online consultation 24/7 without the need to schedule a live visit. Should you have any questions, you may contact your physician for chat-based care before, during, or after your travels.

Which destinations put me at risk for altitude sickness?

Altitude sickness typically occurs above 8,000 feet (2,400m). Common high-risk destinations include Cusco and Machu Picchu in Peru, the Himalayas in Nepal, Bolivia, Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and parts of Colorado and other mountain destinations.
