Besides Imodium, Benadryl, and Ibuprofen I also lIke to keep a few chewable Pepto Bismol and prescription Zofran.

I have not found anything that remotely comes close to dealing with nausea and vomiting like the Zofran. The pills are dissolvable or chewable, and only take a few minutes to start working. I’ve never needed to use it in the backcountry but if you get food poisoning or the flu or something similar, you can use it to keep food or water down you would otherwise lose.

Acetaminophen and NSAIDs are both fairly safe when take correctly, barring a few pre-existing conditions, so either should be fine. More recent studies also showed similar efficacy of 400 of ibuprofen vs 600/800, so less risk of adverse effects with the lower dose but similar pain control. Same with Tylenol, stick to 2-3g or less per day.

OTC - Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), NSAIDs (Ibuprofen), Visine eye drops
Rx - Augmentin or Z-Pack, Medrol Dose Pak, Zofran, Acetazolamide (if in the mountains)

Forgot to mention:

I do take Zaditor eye drops for allergy eyes.

I also take Bacitracin for basic wound care in place of Neosporin. Bacitracin can also be used for bacterial conjunctivitis.

I would agree. Personally, I can't tell the difference between 600 mg and 800 mg.

In addition, if I get a headache and take ibuprofen 400 mg at the onset of the headache, it works perfect. Using it as an abortive medication in this scenario is very efficacious.

I also carry some stronger narcotic pain pills in case of severe injury. I think we have only had to get into it one time.

If you have a prescription of one of the weaker pain killers, like the 5 MG hydrocodone or oxycodone, they relieve pain without making you loopy.

My wife just ordered Emergen C on Amazon.

 

[Okhotnik]

I'm pretty sure it's discontinued, a box of 30 packets is selling for $99.95 on Ebay. It's normally about $8. Amazon says "unavailable". https://us.amazon.com/Emergen-C-Electrolyte-Replacement-Potassium-Magnesium/dp/B0764MDY59

Still at local stores here.

Plenty of Ibuprofen for soreness.
Ibuprofen is fine if not abused at other times. Over time it can definitely mess with your liver/kidneys
if you take it all the time for every ache and pain. I rarely ever take it, so if I need to for a week while hunting I don't worry about it.

Just in case you weren't aware, those two things fight each other. Ibuprofen thins the blood making clotting more difficult.

Ibuprofen does not “thin your blood.” It can cause stomach ulcers, but that’s because it blocks prostaglandin production, which helps to create the protective lining of the stomach and intestines. Aspirin does have platelet aggregation prohibition properties.

If you’re prone to allergic reactions, keep Benadryl and Pepcid on hand. Those two will cover H1 and H2 receptors and help with reducing reactions.

 

[BuckeyeRifleman]

In my emergency kit…

OTC medication consists of Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Benadryl, Imodium, Melatonin.

I keep some 1:1000 Epi and nitro tabs as well but I’m a paramedic.

Hemp oil will reduce inflammation in the body.

 

[Forestryguy]

Advil Dual Action contains 250 mg of ibuprofen and 500 mg of acetaminophen. It is the same that they recommend after major surgery. No need for opiates, etc.
