MEDICATIONS Unit DOSE Pack by RESCUE ESSENTIALS

Have bought these over and over. I buy them for trips, but they come in handy when living in my computer bag. So handy and let's me be the guy on the spot with co-corkers and traveling companions. Excellent product.

Gives you a useful bag with a good range of non-prescription medications without the panic in what you are looking for. Space savers, good selection.

Need to replace those over-the-counter medications found in your first aid kits? This is just the ticket.

I have home made first aid kits for our two family cars. I was looking to resupply some expired medicines (aspirin, ibuprofen, antiacids, etc.), when I found this need little bundle. Now they are generic instead of the name brands, but I am confident they will be equivalent. And I like that each individual item has an expiration date stamped on them and they all had about 18 months on them (and I'm sure they will be good for at least a year or two after the "expiration" date).They ONLY thing I would recommend would be the inclusion of a card to "translate" the off brand names to the "common" name (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.). The printing on the little packets is far too small to be read by my aging eyes or probably most people over 40 without reading glasses and maybe a flashlight. I had to resort to using the magnification feature of my iPhone's camera!!. I made up little index cards for myself to stick in the ziplok bag for easy identification. That would be a very easy thing for the manufacturer to print up (about the size of a business card would be sufficient) and help avoid giving someone an anti-diarrhea pill instead of an antihistamine! That is the only thing holding this back from being a 5-star review.

The perfect starter packet for a new studio apartment owner!

Purchased these to make individual first aid kits. All packages have at least a1-year expiration date. I’m satisfied with my purchase.

I already have large bottles of all the medications I use occasionally at home, but I wanted packaged pills to put in a travel first aid kit. If money is tight, just buy some tiny Nalgene bottles or jars--or use ziplock bags--and package your own pills from larger bottles sold by a warehouse club or generic ones from the local drugstore. That's what I do for domestic travel and road trips.For convenience when traveling internationally, however, where unmarked pills might get extra scrutiny or even cause legal trouble, this set is ideal. Expiration dates will be roughly two years out, but I see no promise of this fact. It's worth noting that tests conducted for the US military found the majority of pills are effective long past sell by dates (average of 15 YEARS), so I take these dates with a grain of salt for dry tablets kept in moderate conditions (my climate controlled home.)(I'm using a study by Gikonyo, Gikonyo, Luvayo, and Ponoth as the basis for this fact. Look up "Drug expiry debate: the myth and the reality")The outer baggie containing these pill packets has a date sticker of 04/2023 on it. Since I ordered in June 2022, I'm guessing they were packed on 04/2022 and this is a convenience sticker for their warehouse. Either that, or they date the outer package with the SOONEST TO EXPIRE medication pack inside.Here's exactly what I got in mid-June 2022:My aspirin (label: ASPIRIN) expires 2023-April (04)My ibuprofen (label: I-PRIN, generic Advil) expires 2024-May (05)My calcium carbonate (label: ALCALAK, generic Tums) expires 2024-May (05)My loperamide (label: DIAMODE, generic Imodium) expires 2024-June (06)My diphenhydramine (label: DIPHEN, generic Benadryl) expires 2024-October (10)My acetaminophen (label: APAP, generic Tylenol) expires 2025-January (01)The labels and instructions on these small packets will be difficult for most people to read. I will separate them into baggies by type and write the popular brand name on the outside of each baggie, also possibly the common use (e.g., "for upset stomach" and "for pain.") I'm pretty familiar with all of these drugs, and my family can all see better than I do. For someone with vision issues, I'd enlarge the instructions on a photocopier or download the information from the internet to print out and put with each packet in my baggie.In the USA, I see "extra strength" pills being sold more commonly. Be aware the included generic Tylenol comes at the lower "regular" strength. Generic Tums in this kit is LESS than the "regular strength" sold at my local pharmacy of 500 mg; the ALCALAK is 420 mg. Other medications match what I see being sold at the pharmacy in dosage.

This is a great addition to any travel bag where you are worried about storing pills individually or need to prove the medicines aren't some sort of controlled item. I have a lot of experience with the Medique brand; they do a lot of industrial job safety kits that are OSHA approved. The biggest downside to this kit is that it is hard to know what the generic medicines are the equivalent to when all the names are unfamiliar. I made a name brand to generic matchup (looking at active ingredients) and all put the expiration dates for the medicine I received in early October.4x TUMS® - (Alcalak) - Expires 09/266x Tylenol® - (APAP) - Expires 11/264x Bayer® - (Asprin) - Expires 04/264x Imodium® AD - (Diamode) - Expires 09/266x Benadryl® - (Diphen) - Expires 04/266x Advil® - (I-Prin) - Expires 11/26If you store these in a hot car I would probably swap them out every year; if they're travel then you can keep them a lot longer.
