for high altitude pul. edema sildenafil is used,,,,this was a question in pg exams last year n i marked furesemideSeriously, consult your physician. You might find this information useful, if only for emergency use, at very high altitudes:
QUOTE: "This is why Viagra and Revatio, a drug prescribed to combat pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs), are in fact just two names for the same substance.
Even healthy people can start to experience some of the fatigue associated with pulmonary hypertension when they travel to very high elevations, where available oxygen wanes and blood vessels in the lungs constrict. Multiple studies have shown that sildenafil can help to reverse this effect, improving oxygen delivery to muscles and offsetting the usual drop in endurance associated with high altitude.
So a Viagra or two would likely help Everest climbers stay strong during the trek." /QUOTE.
