China has granted marketing approval of its first drug for the prevention of acute mountain sickness, filling the long-standing gap in the domestic market where no such medications had been available, Science and Technology Daily reported on Tuesday.
The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved the marketing of acetazolamide sustained-release capsules, the report said. As the first specialized drug in China indicated for preventing of acute mountain sickness, its approval marks the end of the country's lack of dedicated preventive treatment for altitude illness.
By inhibiting the activity of carbonic anhydrase, acetazolamide promotes the renal excretion of bicarbonate, corrects respiratory alkalosis caused by hypoxia at high altitudes, thereby regulating acid-base balance, optimizing respiratory status, elevating blood oxygen levels, and reducing the risk of onset at the source.
In contrast to health products that only provide auxiliary regulatory effects, this medication has been validated through stringent clinical trials and stands as a specialized drug approved by the NMPA with a clear indication for prevention, said the report.
Led by principal investigator is Luobu Gesang, a deputy dean of the People's Hospital of Xizang Autonomous Region, the clinical trial was designed by his team and has yielded critical evidence to inform prevention strategies for altitude sickness that are specifically adapted to Chinese and Asian populations.
"Previously, although acetazolamide had already been used internationally for the prevention of acute mountain sickness, China had long lacked an NMPA-approved acetazolamide formulation supported by rigorous clinical trials. Furthermore, the existing international formulations were short-acting tablets requiring multiple daily doses, and no drugs with the relevant indication were available on the domestic market for an extended period," said Luobu Gesang.
The sustained-release capsule approved this time not only fills this critical gap but also optimizes the dosage form, providing more reliable and convenient medication protection for the physical health and life safety of people entering high-altitude areas, he added.
Clinical trials showed that, compared with the placebo group, the incidence of acute mountain sickness in the medication group was significantly reduced, with the incidence of moderate-to-severe acute mountain sickness decreasing by 14.6 percent, according to the report.

。钢材轧得越薄,晶粒越细密,强度、韧性和冲压性能就越出色,产品附加值就越高。冷轧厂厂长张宝东说:“通过切割、冲压等工艺,这里的冷轧钢带可以做成手机背板、易拉罐、水杯、家用电器面板,还有安全带卡扣、离合器片、汽车冲压件等产品,已在千行百业得到广泛应用。”承德钒钛磁铁矿资源规模全国第二,占全国探明储量40%以上。过去,承德钒钛新材料产业热轧能力强,但冷轧深加工长期缺失,呈现“前端强、后端弱”特点,钒钛初级坯料大都外运加工,产品附加值外流。为延伸产业链条,填补区域内无冷轧产品的空白,2024年,美富淦公司在承德开工建设冷轧厂。2025年11月,冷轧厂竣工投产。走进车间内,1号和2号轧机正高速运转,一卷卷钒钛基础板材被轧制成薄如蝉翼的极薄钢带。
