Coca 9 CH - altitude sickness

Hello,
I just read in a magazine that Coca 9 CH, never heard of it, might help for altitude sickness. It is said that this homeopathic medecine is NOT preventive.
Does someone know about it?

sounds like it is prepared from Coca plant? coca leaves are commonly taken to help with altitude sickness in the Andes (S America), Argentina, Peru, Bolivia... either in the form of tea or just chewing the leaves.

Thank you, Volga. yes it makes sense.
I can't take Diamox as I have side effetcs.
I have been to Tibet 3 times and sick each time. I am planning a trip to Ladakh and I know what's waiting for me.
Seems there is another herbal product :ginko (gingko) biloda.
Please, trekkers, mountaineers and doctors

kailash, do a search in Trekking section... loads of advice on dealing with altitude sickness (from the top of my head i remember GARLIC)

i think "family trek in Ladakh" is a good thread to start with:
start with this post
