5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This safety study is the first in a series of studies testing the application of the combination of aminophylline and methazolamide.
Detailed Description
After successful completion of this safety trial, our goal will be to evaluate the safety of this combination in healthy individuals exposed to hypoxia and exercise. Subsequently, an efficacy study will clarify whether this drug combination improves physical and mental functions in human subjects under high altitude conditions.
