Drugs

When you go deep into the field for an extended period of time, it is a matter of proper safety to carry emergency medications to cover the time before a proper rescue should an issue arise. My standard field med kit contains the following prescription drugs:

• Acetazolamide (Diamox) 125mg tabs (for altitude sickness)
• Ciprofloxacn (Cipro) 500mg tabs (for food poisoning or traveler's diarrhea)
• Promethazine (Phenergan) 25mg tabs (for nausea and vomiting)
• Percocet 325mg tabs (for moderate pain)
• Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) 2mg tabs (for severe pain)
• EpiPen 0.3mg auto-injector (for severe allergic reactions)
• Methylprednisolone 4mg tab dose pak (anti-inflammatory)
