[QUOTE="securitysix, post: 2604325, member: 32714"] Personally, I'd want to have some penicillin on hand. If my older sister is around, I'd also need a good non-penicillin alternative since she's allergic to it, tetracycline, maybe?. A powerful enough pain killer to deal with major pains like broken bones or getting shot (Percocet, Vicodin, Lortab, something along those lines) would be good, but I'd be worried about someone getting addicted to it and becoming a problem if there was very much around. I know both of my parents are on prescription medications for a couple of things, so if I could stock up on those, I would. Non-prescription pain relief: Acetaminophen (generic is fine, doesn't have to be Tylenol), Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Goodies headache powder, Orajel Severe Toothache & Gum (when you need it, it's amazing), and Orajel Antiseptic Mouth Rinse (because you can cure a canker sore in 2 days with baking soda, but if it's at the back of your throat, that's not really an option). Non-prescription other: Benadryl, Dayquil (or a generic equivalent, capsules are fine), Nyquil (again, generic and capsules are fine). Maybe something a little milder than benadryl for the people who tend to fall asleep after they take it. Electrolyte drink mix powder (if you're stocking up on anti-diarrheals, you might want to add this, too). Probably a good idea to add a topical anti-biotic like Neosporin, too. That's all I can think of at the moment. [/QUOTE]
