MEDICATIONS Unit DOSE Pack by RESCUE ESSENTIALS

It was helpful. We ran through the ibuprofen pretty fast, and barely used the other meds in the pack. It was nice to have as a just incase type of this, and is small enough that I was able to put the remaining packs into my first aid kit

I have a bag of every single item I could ever need that I keep in my car for emergencies, spontaneous trips, etc., and these completed my first aid kit! They’re extremely cheap and now if any of my friends or myself have a random headache, stomachache, etc., I’ve got them covered. I love that they’re single use packets because it stays sanitary and I don’t have giant jars to try and shove into my already cramped bag. I even managed to fit them in a first aid kit I already had. Absolutely perfect for what I needed!

Super convenient all in one travel pack of OTC medications that one may need while traveling. Simply throw it in your travel bag, car, or backpack. Found it very convenient. It saves time from having to buy and repackage each item individually. Great for the frequent traveler.

It was great to have a variety of medications while traveling. My only comment was that the packaging is a little bulky for travel, but probably great for a first aid kit etc.

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.

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

I use these in my first aid bag. Great assortment great price.

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.
