Generally yes in fact Diamox(Acetazolamide) is also used to treat ocular hypertension(Glaucoma) but check with your personal MD who is knowledgeable in travel medicine.

I've had the jab.

Oh well, i guess i just had to hear it one more time. It'll be like being lactose intolerant and visiting Holland ... or something. Again, thanks for taking the time.

I can't address your specific concerns - but I can assure you that a number of products containing codeine are available - some without prescription, in Australia.

I don't worry too much about chemical contamination, and I don't worry about viruses.
