The coronavirus epidemic has everyone rushing to stores to stock up on essentials. While you need enough food, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies to survive, it’s important to stock your medicine cabinets too. You don’t need to expose yourself to the deadly virus with pharmacy delivery.
Here are some essentials to ensure you have on hand.
1. Acetaminophen
Fever and pain are things you don’t want to suffer from. Acetaminophen is vital to keep on hand in case you’re afflicted by either. It’s a great first line of defense against a range of issues.
2. Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
NSAIDs reduce inflammation when you suffer from problems like toothaches, backaches, and more. Be sure to keep them on hand even in healthy times.
3. Aspirin
Aspirin is a popular pain reliever that the American Heart Association recommends during a heart attack. It’s often used on adults by emergency medical teams.
4. Antihistamine
Problems stemming from allergies (hives, itching, etc.) can be cured with antihistamine. Keep these allergy medications on hand so you won’t get spring fever.
5. Decongestant
One of the most common cold, flu, and allergy symptoms is a stuffy nose. A decongestant clears you out.
6. Antacids
An upset stomach can cause insomnia, lack of nutrition, and worse. Stomach problems are serious, so have antacids on hand to treat them.
7. Cough Suppressant
If you develop a cough, syrups, drops, and even vitamin C supplements can help.
With your medicine cabinet stocked, you’ll survive any pandemic.
