Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Dexamethasone and HAPE

Wow, that was a great summary, and yes, it answered my original post (i.e., whether Dex can be used in an emergency to treat HAPE that actually present).

Yes, it was a very specific question. I am one of those sulfa-sensitive folks (so no Diamox without specific testing), and I am not planning to use drugs for prophylaxis. Hence my curiosity about uses for Dex in an emergency (as opposed to prophylactic) situation. Tons on the internet re HACE; less info re HAPE.
