Many families in Europe, America, Japan and other countries will be equipped with a first aid kit so that they can save their lives in critical moments of life and death. Nitroglycerin tablets (or spray) and Suxiao Jiuxin Pills are first-aid drugs. The home medicine box should be equipped with 6 types of medicines, including surgical medicines for treating skin trauma, cold medicines, and digestive medicines. In addition, emergency medicines should be regularly checked and replaced every 3 to 6 months, and special attention should be paid to the validity period of the medicines.
In some emergencies, such as cardiac arrest, most of the rescue time is actually pre-hospital first aid, and winning rescue time can reduce the disability rate. Self-testing, self-management and self-care are effective supplementary treatments to professional rescue. Home emergency medicines and tools are not only used to deal with large-scale disasters such as earthquakes, but also come in handy in daily life, such as when you encounter a cut hand, a sprained foot, or a sudden attack of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the elderly. Some emergency medicine and tools are needed. So, let’s take a look at the commonly used medicines in medical kits.
1. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergency medicine
Including nitroglycerin, Suxiao Jiuxin Pills, Shexiang Baoxin Pills, Compound Danxin Dropping Pills, etc. In an emergency, you can take a tablet of nitroglycerin under the tongue.
