I am concerned that by removing pills from their original packaging (blister or pill box), you are losing track of the expiry date of the medications, putting you at risk of sub-optimal drug effects. Perhaps, also label the date by which you replace the meds? Other random pointers (I am a medical doctor): - I highly recommend Ondansetron. It should be easy to request any doctor you see to write you a prescription for one. It works like a charm for any nausea, hangover, migraine, seasickness, stomach bug, heartburn, or anxiety, etc. - Acetaminophen(Tylenol) or Paracetamol, based on where you are located, is a must for fevers. - If you are prone to allergies, carrying an antihistamine, such as cetirizine or levocetirizine, helps a lot. - Saline eye drops for dryness (long hours at the computer), or random foreign bodies (specks) - Add something for heartburn/acidity. This can be ranitidine or omeprazole(Id avoid this but for extreme cases) . This works when you eat something spicy or too much of something leading to discomfort. Look at this as a one-step above your regular tums. - Personal fav pill organizer
Should I write a detailed post or link a detailed google doc about OTCs?
