Mandatory minimum for a first-aid kit. What should be in a first aid kit for adults and children: a list of necessary medicines, drugs, pills, herbs
I'm glad you came to visit))
Today I bring to your attention a useful article on "near-medical" topics.
No matter how hard we try to keep our body in good shape, sooner or later some disease will surely find a gap in immunity, and, according to the law of meanness, will do this at a time when the right doctor is on vacation and pharmacies are closed.
At such moments, a first aid kit comes in handy.
Basically, the first-aid kit (it’s good if it’s a locker or a large box designed to store medicines) is sent to drugs for already transferred diseases, bought only for their treatment (and which it’s a pity to dispose of).
In the same place, unnamed pills without packages, expired medicines, and related paraphernalia like bandages and plasters are waiting in the wings. And this is wrong. In the first-aid kit, an order close to ideal should reign)), and at least the necessary minimum of medicines for all occasions should be stored.
Even if the family prefers to be treated with folk remedies, in this case it is worth asking what medicines should be in the home medicine cabinet, the drugs that I will give below may be required “yesterday”, and there will be no time to run after them.
The article gives several options for drugs, so that you can choose the most suitable for yourself from personal preferences and budget.
In addition, some of the medicines can be excluded based on whether your family has this disease, for example, keep heartburn remedies in the first-aid kit if no one has ever suffered from it, in my opinion there is no need, and when an attack occurs for the first time, it is quite possible to get by with folk means in the form of a soda solution, but drugs from the group of painkillers and antipyretics in the first-aid kit should be mandatory.
Related little things
In fact, dressing material is not such a trifle. If a cotton pad for treating a wound can still be found somewhere on a shelf with cosmetics, then there are problems with other essentials - no one knows where everything is.
Therefore, check that the first-aid kit must have a BANDAGE, GAUZE WIPES, PATCH, STERILE COTTON.
Devices
This is not about complex medical equipment, but about elementary THERMOMETER and TONOMETER. To treat a consequence, the cause must be established, and measuring temperature or blood pressure will almost always be the action from which the selection of the necessary medicines begins.
Relieve the pain
Pain is the most common ailment, be it toothache, headache, or menstrual pain in women. But it is worth remembering that all people are different, and everyone's pain threshold is also different. Here is what should be in the first aid kit, a list of painkillers for every taste, color and feel:
- ANALGIN and ASPIRIN. Habitual pills are considered drugs of the old generation, and rumors persist about their side effects. There are excellent modern analogues like PARACETOMOL or EFFERLAGAN, which, in addition to their analgesic properties, act as antipyretic and stop inflammation in the body.
- CITRAMON, and preparations containing caffeine are good. They are also taken if the blood pressure drops below normal. (If you, like me, are worried about migraines, then more.)
- SPASMOLGON, as the name implies, is used for any spasms. NO-SHPA, a complex drug that can relieve spasm in case of renal colic, pain in the liver or intestines, has the same effect.
- From stomach ache ESPUMIZAN and SMEKTA have proven themselves well. But we must remember that such pains are of a different nature: it may turn out that instead of taking smecta, you will have to go to the hospital and. That is why it is possible to treat abdominal pain on your own only when you know exactly its source.
- menstrual pain- a separate issue. What medicines should be in the home first aid kit, specifically to relieve the female share during the cycle? First of all - KETANOV or BARALGIN. PENTALGIN and CITRAMON relieve pain well.
- Toothache removed by TEMPALGIN or BARALGIN. Don't delay your trip to the dentist!
In addition, it is desirable that the first-aid kit contains ointments and drops of anti-inflammatory and analgesic action. These include APIZARTRON, VIPROSAL, FASTUM-GEL: these remedies are excellent for sprains, bruises, and. OTOFA and OTINUM will perfectly cope with pain and inflammation in the ears.
Defeat SARS
Flu, bronchitis, colds - the "standard set" of the autumn-spring period. In this case, the first-aid kit should also be completed.
- No one canceled the temperature during a cold, so there must be a set of antipyretics in the treasured locker. These include PRACETOMOL , ASKOFEN , COLDREX , IBUKLIN, IBUPROFEN .
- The second symptom associated with fever is a runny nose. The simplest and most budgetary remedy is PHYSICAL SOLUTION, and PREPARATIONS BASED ON SEA WATER. For the same purpose, you can buy PINOSOL , Sanorin, or Naphthyzinum.
- Another problem is coughing. Chest herbal preparations are able to cope with it. If there is no desire to mess with the teapot, then tablets and sprays will help.
- get rid of phlegm - MUKALTIN , AMBROXOL;
- relieve an unpleasant sensation in the throat - any lollipops (from a pharmacy, of course: FARINGOSEPT , STREPSILS and others);
- BROMHEXIN, AMBROBEN, STOPTUSSIN save from different types of cough.
- And, of course, soluble powders for oral administration. ARTIGRIPPIN , TERAFLU and similar drugs perfectly relieve all the symptoms of colds and flu , providing the desired relief. But it is worth remembering that a symptom is not a disease, and a quick improvement in a condition is not yet a cure.
If someone at home gets sick with the flu, then you need to not only treat him, but also try to make sure that the rest of the household does not become infected. For prevention the spread of the disease in the first-aid kit should be GAUze masks, inhaler , OXOLIN OINTMENT.
Affairs of the Heart
In the rhythm of modern life, stress, unfortunately, becomes a constant companion. The question arises - what to do? Do not look at others like a shepherd))
Here, a home first-aid kit will also come to the rescue, and what should be there is a list of medicines in case of unrest and worries, a small, but very effective one. It includes such sedatives like VALOCARDIN , CORVALOL , VALERIAN or motherwort in the form of tinctures, NOVO-PASSIT.
In addition, there are “near-medical” devices designed to help divide small tablets, grind hard ones and remind you of the timely intake of medicines, I wrote more about them in.
Everyone needs to know about the basic medicines that should be in every home medicine cabinet. It is unacceptable to treat this issue with frivolity and rely on the fact that if something happens, pah-pah-pah, everything will resolve itself. Everything for which the first aid kit is intended is an everyday matter, and can happen to anyone at any time (cuts, injuries, abrasions, indigestion, colds, etc.) It is especially important to approach the issue of creating a first aid kit at home if there is Small children.
So, let's start building a first-aid kit at home.
First you need to find place to store it. It is desirable that this place be easily accessible for an adult, but not for a child. Children are such curious creatures that can climb anywhere and pull anything out without you even noticing. It often happens that parents notice a disassembled first-aid kit already when empty strips of pills lie nearby and panic begins. And it is not clear whether the kid ate it all, or just threw it away or, even worse, hid it for future games.
It is especially important to keep medicines out of reach if they are potent drugs. For example, patients with hypertension use very potent drugs to stop crises. Two or three tablets of any of them can quite poison even an adult and even lead to death.
Therefore, it is advisable to keep a first-aid kit, for example, in a room, but on the mezzanine, in the upper drawers of a kitchen set, on the upper shelves of cabinets.
How to store medicines. It is advisable to choose a box in which you can conveniently arrange all the medicines and they are not mixed up. You can buy a standard set at a pharmacy. Such kits are designed by specialists and are very convenient - they are compact and at the same time all medicines are visible and at hand.
You can allocate several boxes of different sizes for a home first-aid kit. For example, in a small one, store tablets in a soft package, in a medium one - medicines in ampoules, in vials, plastic packages, vials, etc. And in the largest - syringes and dressings.
Vials and tubes must be tightly closed.
If you store herbs at home, they should be kept separate from other medicines.

A lot of? But this is just the bare minimum. If you have chronic diseases, then you need to add your medicines that you use to relieve attacks and exacerbations to your home medicine cabinet.
In addition to medicines, put the telephone number of the district pediatrician and children's round-the-clock medical care in the first-aid kit.
Make sure that all boxes and packages in your first aid kit have labels. Medicines without labels and tablets without packaging cannot be used!
Labels are also important for knowing the expiration date of a medicine. Check the expiration date periodically and before use. Throw away all tinctures, potions and other liquid dosage forms of a dubious type - saving is inappropriate here! Throw away expired drugs without any regret.
Signs of bad medicines.
1. Dragees and tablets should not have cracks, scratches, stains, crumble.
2. Ointments should be easily squeezed out of the tube in a single, non-stratifying, non-spreading “strip”.
3. Liquid medicines should not be used if they have partially evaporated or contain flakes.
The composition of the home first aid kit includes a minimum set of medicines, which should always be at hand. There is no need to keep a battery of bottles with syrups for various types of coughs, fill the refrigerator shelf with immunity boosters and eubiotics with “beneficial bacteria”, buy antibiotics without a doctor’s prescription. After all, 24-hour pharmacies are available to almost everyone, and people with chronic diseases themselves know how much to keep at home.
A universal first aid kit contains what is needed urgently and suddenly, helps to wait for a doctor and can be used by people without a medical education.
Disclaimer. Before purchasing and using drugs, consult your doctor.
The article lists the main active ingredients of drugs. Trade names may vary, hundreds of different drugs are produced with the same active ingredient. Make the choice of your remedy, focusing on the doctor's recommendations and your wallet, and for convenience, use the drug search service for the active substance.
1. Dressing material
Cotton wool. Bandage. Gauze napkins. Patch. Elastic bandage. Gloves. With these essentials, difficulties constantly arise. Everyone knows that they should be at home. But when they are urgently needed, they can not be found. And if cotton wool can still be found in a cosmetic bag, then everything is bad with a bandage and napkins. When you get hurt, you have no time to remember where everything is. You need to take dressings and stop the bleeding, so make sure you stock up your first aid kit.
2. Shoe covers
Do you think shoe covers are not needed at home? More like needed. “They called the doctor, but he didn’t take off his shoes”, “The paramedic trampled in the hallway” - you either heard such complaints, or you yourself at least once said them. Give the doctor and ambulance workers shoe covers, this is a penny solution to a sore problem.
3. Medical devices
Even the healthiest people should have a thermometer and a tonometer. Temperature and fluctuations in blood pressure happen to everyone, and treatment depends on the readings of the simplest instruments.
4. Painkillers and antipyretics
Paracetamol, ibuprofen, nimesulide are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In the first aid kit you need to put all three drugs. They differ in time of action, anti-inflammatory activity. Practice shows that if the temperature does not drop from paracetamol, then ibuprofen helps; if ibuprofen failed, nimesulide will save. As remedies for headaches and toothaches, drugs help in different ways, depending on individual tolerance. It is important not to get carried away and not to use all the medicines with an interval of half an hour, but to follow the instructions in the instructions and dosage.
5. Antispasmodics
A sharp attack of aching pain can be a symptom of a spasm of smooth muscles. Most often, the head (with vascular tension) and the stomach (with spasm of the abdominal organs) suffer. One of the safest drugs that help in this case is drotaverine. It has few side effects, the main one being uncontrolled use by patients who suppress the pain instead of curing the cause of its appearance.
6. Antiseptics
Stop smearing yourself with green paint, this is the last century. You can treat the wound so that nothing pinches and leaves no traces of dye with good antiseptics. For example, chlorhexidine. Antiseptics have many other uses. In summer, you can treat the feet and armpits so that there is no unpleasant smell of sweat. Treat mucous membranes (even with a sore throat). Treat surfaces and various objects, if necessary, disinfect them. Unlike the beloved hydrogen peroxide, special antiseptics do not dry the skin. They don’t stop the blood either, but wounds that are treated without medical intervention will heal anyway (with the help of a tight bandage), and if you need to suture, peroxide will not save.
7. Wound healing drugs
Panthenol should be in the form of a burn spray at home. Contrary to popular advice, burns should absolutely not be lubricated with oil, lard, and everything that grandmothers like to use. A burn is one of the most dangerous injuries that is very difficult to heal. And even a special ointment is painful to apply. Let's say thanks to modern release forms that will cope with minor burns and help you wait for a doctor if the injury requires a doctor's observation.
Panthenol or solcoseryl in the form of ointments and gels will cope with minor household injuries, cuts, abrasions. It is even better if panthenol is combined with an antiseptic, the same chlorhexidine.
8. A set of medicines "for colds"
Most often, we get sick like this: stuffy nose, tickle in the throat, cough, fever. NSAIDs cope with fever (they were described above), for other manifestations of SARS, symptomatic treatment is used. A set of fixed assets is needed so that you do not have to run to the pharmacy when you most want to lie under the covers and just sleep. So, how to save yourself during the period of acute respiratory infections.
Interferon. Many drugs ending in "-feron" help the body quickly connect antibodies to fight the virus. Store candles and sprays in the refrigerator, otherwise they are useless.
Vasoconstrictor nasal drops with oxymetazoline. Have you heard about drug addiction and the eternal runny nose, from which only constant instillation will save? These are the consequences of the use of older generation drugs. Modern options allow you to hold out for 5-7 days, instilling the drug only twice a day. Result: the virus receded, the addiction did not appear.
Sore throat remedies with antiseptics. Tablets and lozenges are taken to dull the pain a little and make it easier to swallow. Some contain antibiotics that should not be used without medical supervision. Keep home preparations with antiseptics and enzymes, such as lysozyme. Read the instructions and do not eat for two hours after taking, so that the medicinal substances have time to act.
9. Antihistamines
Antihistamines are used not only to combat allergic reactions. They also help relieve swelling in case of colds (and use vasoconstrictor nasal drops to a minimum) and get rid of itching after insect bites (if you apply an ointment with the drug to the bite site). Now there are a lot of drugs that do not cause drowsiness, made on the basis of suprastin, dimethindene, cetirizine, in convenient forms and different dosages for children and adults.
10. Sorbents
Activated charcoal is, without a doubt, a time-tested remedy. It helps when they ate something wrong or caught an intestinal infection. And stories tell about the benefits of coal with excessive alcohol consumption. And they still don't know how to use it. Drinking two black pills is not enough, they drink coal in batches! Pleasure is doubtful. In the meantime, intestinal sorbents based on smectite and lignin appeared, which are used one tablet at a time.
11. Remedies for constipation
The best remedy for this problem is diet. But the diet will work sometime later, and constipation happens here and now. The problem is solved in an elementary way. Lactulose syrup acts from the inside (which is attributed to infants, but which works best for adults), outside - candles with glycerin. No addiction, no side effects.
12. Oral rehydration products
These are true friends of sorbents and antipyretics. In case of poisoning, diarrhea, vomiting or at a very high temperature, the body needs to restore the water-salt balance. Problems begin when in this state you do not want to drink. Making an effort and drinking one glass of a solution that will restore strength is easier than trying to pour liters of compote into yourself.
13. Medicines for hypertensive patients
The most dangerous medicine in the home first aid kit is captopril, which is now recommended to be used instead of the popular nitroglycerin. If you do not have problems with pressure and blood vessels, you should still have captopril: this is a drug that can be given to a patient in case of a hypertensive crisis (one of the most common causes of death in the world) before the ambulance arrives.
Before buying a medicine, study the symptoms of a hypertensive crisis.
Algorithm of actions: they noticed the symptoms, called an ambulance, laid the patient down, provided him with air flow. If he is taking any blood pressure medication, give it. And only if there are no such drugs, put a captopril tablet under the tongue. Important: tell the ambulance staff what you have used. Remember that this is not a brilliant green and not coal, it is strictly forbidden to distribute captopril with "flies in the eyes" just like that.
What is always in your first aid kit “just in case”?
A home first aid kit should be in every home, regardless of whether you have health problems or not (because God saves the safe). Most of us take it lightly, going years without replenishing it or checking expiration dates, and some of us don't even turn it on at all. So, some useful tips on what should be the composition of a home first aid kit necessary for all occasions.
The general rule is to store the medicine in a dark, cool place, away from children and animals. During storage, each medicine should have its name and expiration date written on it, and it is very desirable that it be in its original packaging and along with instructions.
Once every six months, it is necessary to revise all medicines in the first-aid kit, replenish stocks and discard them with an expired shelf life.
It will be most convenient to organize a universal first-aid kit according to the principle “what and from what disease”. On medicine boxes, or on leaflets (hooking on an elastic band), write the name of the medicine, from which and the method of application. This will make your life much easier in an emergency. On the first-aid kit, you can stick a leaflet from the phone of the clinic, family and other medical services and pharmacies you need.
