Brief Summary:
This safety study is the first in a series of studies testing the application of the combination of aminophylline and methazolamide.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Mountain Sickness Drug: Aminophylline Drug: Methazolamide Drug: Aminophylline and Methazolamide Phase 1

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.
