Rescue Essentials Medications Dose Pack–First Aid Refill Kit with Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, Aspirin, Antihistamine, Anti-Diarrheal & Antacid– Compact Emergency Travel & IFAK Supply-1 Module (30 Doses)

So much cheaper and easier than buying all these meds separately! I add these to my first aid kit for hiking, and the individual packs are so easy to carry and replace as needed. This covers all the bases.

Great for first aid kit

Item arrived quickly and is great quality.

Great for traveling. One bag with medication for multiple situations allergies, headache, stomach pain, headaches, etc. The only thing I would say is that the name listed on the main package versus the names on the individual packages are not the same. Be sure to read what it is used for, so you know what you’re taking.

Great solution and variety to add to my backpacking first aid kit.

I already have large bottles of all the medications I use occasionally at home, but I wanted packaged pills to put in a travel first aid kit. If money is tight, just buy some tiny Nalgene bottles or jars--or use ziplock bags--and package your own pills from larger bottles sold by a warehouse club or generic ones from the local drugstore. That's what I do for domestic travel and road trips. For convenience when traveling internationally, however, where unmarked pills might get extra scrutiny or even cause legal trouble, this set is ideal. Expiration dates will be roughly two years out, but I see no promise of this fact. It's worth noting that tests conducted for the US military found the majority of pills are effective long past sell by dates (average of 15 YEARS), so I take these dates with a grain of salt for dry tablets kept in moderate conditions (my climate controlled home.) (I'm using a study by Gikonyo, Gikonyo, Luvayo, and Ponoth as the basis for this fact. Look up "Drug expiry debate: the myth and the reality") The outer baggie containing these pill packets has a date sticker of 04/2023 on it. Since I ordered in June 2022, I'm guessing they were packed on 04/2022 and this is a convenience sticker for their warehouse. Either that, or they date the outer package with the SOONEST TO EXPIRE medication pack inside. Here's exactly what I got in mid-June 2022: My aspirin (label: ASPIRIN) expires 2023-April (04) My ibuprofen (label: I-PRIN, generic Advil) expires 2024-May (05) My calcium carbonate (label: ALCALAK, generic Tums) expires 2024-May (05) My loperamide (label: DIAMODE, generic Imodium) expires 2024-June (06) My diphenhydramine (label: DIPHEN, generic Benadryl) expires 2024-October (10) My acetaminophen (label: APAP, generic Tylenol) expires 2025-January (01) The labels and instructions on these small packets will be difficult for most people to read. I will separate them into baggies by type and write the popular brand name on the outside of each baggie, also possibly the common use (e.g., "for upset stomach" and "for pain.") I'm pretty familiar with all of these drugs, and my family can all see better than I do. For someone with vision issues, I'd enlarge the instructions on a photocopier or download the information from the internet to print out and put with each packet in my baggie. In the USA, I see "extra strength" pills being sold more commonly. Be aware the included generic Tylenol comes at the lower "regular" strength. Generic Tums in this kit is LESS than the "regular strength" sold at my local pharmacy of 500 mg; the ALCALAK is 420 mg. Other medications match what I see being sold at the pharmacy in dosage.

Great addition to your purse, backpack, man-bag, range bag, or carry on! It’s small, about the size of a large sandwich ziplock. The package is thick enough not to disintegrate, but not so thick to be unmanageable. There are enough meds for a business trip, a trip to the zoo, or a weekend getaway. The main bag is resealable. Bought one for all my family members, and two more for myself.

Good for the vehicle, at work, med kit, daily use backpack. Cheaper than if you bought them individually at a gas station. Nice also to have them in one small bag, labeled.
