Major trauma (heart attack, head injury, broken bone, severe burn, eye injury, animal bite) Consider your lifestyle at present (are you getting enough sleep & nutrition) Ask pharmacist about any drug interactions (will the medicine react badly with something you are already taking) Never take medicine in the dark, only use medicines out of the original bottle. Most medicines are still good 2 months past the expiration date. Store medicines in a cool dry place away from sunlight. Neosporin, pain reliever, anti inflammatory, something for upset stomach, antihistamine, band aid, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide. Change out your supplies every 2 years.
