In the event of aches and pains, allergic reactions or even a minor medical emergency, do you have the essential supplies on hand? Pharmacists identified the nine most important medical staples.
What’s in your medicine cabinet? In the event of aches and pains, allergic reactions or even a minor medical emergency, do you have the essential supplies? Fox News Digital spoke with two experts — Dr. Jennifer Bourgeois, a pharmacist based in Dallas-Fort Worth, and Katy Dubinsky, a New York pharmacist and the CEO and co-founder of Vitalize, a private supplement company — who identified the most important medical staples that every household should have on hand.
Here's a list of 9 key staples. 1. Pain relievers Common pain relievers such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen and naproxen are important for treating headaches, easing achy muscles, reducing inflammation and lowering fevers, according to Bourgeois. 'These are simply medicine cabinet essentials,' she said. 2.
If there are children in the house, use childproof containers and store medications out of reach. 'Consider a locked cabinet if necessary,' Bourgeois advised. If you have any questions about which medications are safe and effective, it’s best to consult with your doctor, the experts agreed.
