A member asked:
If you were to recommend a minimal list of over the counter drugs to treat a variety of common ailments (i.e. benadryl could be used for allergies but also can be used place of an epipen in an emergency) what would you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All available : Your example, though, does not apply as Benadryl cannot replace epipen in anaphylaxis. Otherwise and without context a little supply of each class such as NSAID’s or anti allergy meds for example to laxatives and reflux meds may help.
