sjtillWhat medicines would you like to have on hand, 'just in case'?
Ondansetron is a fantastic anti-emetic. I wouldn’t bother with prochlorperazine.
You didn’t include any hypnotics (sleeping pills) or anti-anxiety drugs. In hard times, a good night’s sleep might be hard to come by.
Also consider a PDE-5 inhibitor

You can get glucose gel tubes at CVS and other pharmacies OTC. That's probably more effective and easier to carry around if you're looking for an alternative.
Also I assume you have an entire bottle of the baby aspirin, not just 1 81mg?

Ok, that is good to know. Thanks. If there is no benefit to having both then I'll cross the prochlorperazine. It's primary use also makes me nervous about so I'm glad to dump it.
Do you have a specific suggestions on the sleep aide and a anti-anxiety beyond an OTC Unisom or something like that?

I didn't know what this was so I googled it.

Thanks, I'll read up on this and make the appropriate notations.

arfmelI’d include some sort of lubricant eye drops, and possibly some antibiotic eye drops. Maybe one of our medicos could recommend some specific types.

GustoferI'd add some oxycodone and some high(er) potency steroid cream/gel. Hydrocortisone is mostly useless.
And a jug of whiskey...or two.

roymI would add some charcoal tablets and some Aloe vera gel some good quality tweezers, sutcher tape, Bentadine wash and an ace bandage or two.
