Commonly prescribed Acetazolamide (Diamox)
$79
Our standard prescription includes a course of treatment for 5 days of continual ascent.

Altitude Sickness

Altitude sickness most commonly occurs when traveling higher than 8,000ft. A lack of oxygen causes nausea, exhaustion, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Runway offers Acetazolamide (Diamox), an FDA approved treatment that helps by decreasing CO2 in your bloodstream and, in turn, increasing oxygen levels. Tackle high elevations, adjust to altitude, and recover from hypoxia so you can keep on climbing. Use as directed.

Traveling in Switzerland


When a destination is as renowned for its stunning landscapes as Switzerland, every journey feels like a postcard come to life. Whether you’re carving through pristine snow on alpine ski slopes or enjoying a tranquil train ride through the Swiss Alps, Switzerland offers the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Add in the charm of Swiss culture—world-class chocolate, fine wines, and hearty mountain cuisine—and you have a travel experience that’s as enriching as it is exhilarating. From exploring charming cities like Zurich and Geneva to hiking iconic trails near the Matterhorn, Switzerland is a haven for travelers seeking unforgettable scenery and vibrant cultural experiences.

Common Medications

While Switzerland is known for its advanced healthcare system, it’s always wise to travel prepared. Common medications to bring include remedies for altitude sickness, which can affect travelers visiting high-altitude destinations like the Jungfrau or Zermatt. Over-the-counter pain relievers, antihistamines for seasonal allergies, and motion sickness medication for those scenic train or cable car rides are also advisable. Runway Health makes securing travel medications simple, offering convenient online consultations and fast delivery to ensure you’re ready for every Swiss adventure.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Before visiting Switzerland, ensure that your routine vaccinations, such as measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP), and influenza, are up to date. While Switzerland doesn’t pose significant health risks, Hepatitis A and B vaccinations are recommended for those planning extended stays or who may consume undercooked food. Additionally, if your travel plans include rural or forested areas, it may be worth considering a tick-borne encephalitis vaccine, as ticks can be a concern in wooded regions. Always consult a healthcare provider for specific advice tailored to your itinerary and health needs.

Making Travel Safe and Simple

Runway Health ensures that preparing for your Swiss adventure is seamless. With online consultations, FDA-approved medications, and free, fast shipping, you can focus on enjoying the snow-capped peaks and picturesque villages without worry. Let us help you make your journey to Switzerland as safe and memorable as the breathtaking views.
