KytoStat — an ultra-specialized bandage to stop bleeding when you know that simply holding a gauze pad won’t work, such as inside someone from missed filet knife issues.
Bonine — to prevent motion sickness, the patch and wristbands might be a good idea too.
Saline eyewash — to wash out debris from your eye
Aleve (naproxen) — for pain
Aspirin — in case of anything from fever to a heart attack
Gly-Oxide — an oral antiseptic cleanser for gum irritation
Alcohol-based hand sanitizer
Gauze pads and adhesive bandages in a variety of sizes
Nexcare flexible clear tape
ACE bandage — for sprains, strains, pulled muscle
Neosporin — topical triple antibiotic ointment
Cortizone 10 — stick topical cortisone for itching/rash
Safety pins, super glue and duct tape (rolled around a pencil or pen)
Oral Benadryl — antihistamine for allergies
Caladryl lotion — for itching/rashes
Maalox chewable tabs — antacid
Sudafed — oral decongestant
Afrin nasal spray — nasal decongestant
Pepto-Bismol — chewable tabs to prevent traveler’s diarrhea
Imodium AD — to treat diarrhea
Cipro — a prescription antibiotic for severe diarrhea
EpiPen — prescription in case someone has a severe, anaphylactic allergy reaction
Digital oral thermometer
Sawyer Controlled Release — DEET-based insect repellant
Blister kit, including moleskin, Spenco Second Skin, and Band-Aid blister bandages
Robitussin liquid gel — cough suppressant
Ricola throat lozenges
Tweezers and of course Bolt Cutters
Anthelios with Mexoryl SX — UVA/UVB sunscreen
Temparin — temporary dental filling kit
Steripen — UV device to decontaminate water
Monistat cream – for women in case of a vaginal yeast infectio
Blistex lip ointment/balm

If I’m taking any prescription drugs, I bring these along as well as extra prescriptions from my doctor in case I lose the meds or need more when on the road. To be on the safe side, you may want to keep the meds in their original containers so you don’t have trouble with Coastguard inspections.

I am sure that the safety conscious members of this board could fill in the gaps for me for a complete kit as I am sure I have overlooked some things.

Hope this helps.
