Original product.Over-the-Counter MedicinesThe first stop in our trip to Walgreens is at the over-the-counter medicines. This is the major reason for the trip and one which we need to spend some time.Symptoms for many minor medical problems can be alleviated through these over-the-counter medicines, allowing the body to heal itself.While they aren’t really curative medicines, few medicines are. most just treat symptoms, including many of those we need prescriptions for.Here’s a list of things to look for:• Pain relievers – Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen will take care of most situations. Buying the extra strength version is a better deal.For example; a box of 100 extra strength Tylenol works out to 10.5₵ per pill, which contains 500mg.A box of 100 normal strength Tylenol works out to 8.5₵ per pill. But those are 200mg each. So you’d have to take 2.5 pills to get the same amount of medicine, which makes it 21₵ per dose.• Lidocaine – a topical anesthetic cream• Benzoine (optional) – helps promote adhesion of bandages• Hydrocortisone cream – for reducing itches from rashes• Antihistamines (equivalent to Benadryl) – to reduce runny noses and treat allergies (Walgreens brand is less than ½ the cost of Benadryl)• Decongestant (equivalent to Sudafed) – to relieve stuffy nose• Dental repair paste – for relieving a chipped or broken tooth• Loperamide – for diarrheaRelated: The 10 Cents Medicine That Every Prepper NeedsOther “Medicines”While these items aren’t really considered medicines, I highly recommend adding them to your kit.
