[Totumpole]

1. Paracetamol
2. Ibuprofen
3. ORS (oral rehydration salts)
4. Chloramphenicol ointment
5. Malarone (malarial prophylaxis/treatment - because I intend to visit malarial endemic area at some point)
6. Chlorphenamine (piriton)
7. Co-amoxiclav (pretty good all round antibiotic for skin/chest infection)
8. Iodine or potassium permanganate (wound cleaning/water sterilisation)
9. After bite (ammonia based bite relief)
10. Rennies or Zantac

I think that would be a pretty comprehensive medication side of a personal FAK

i think we just need to bump this and remind people that this was an hyperthetical question 'What ten meds'
and that anti venom, adrenaline and morphine etc are all drugs that are either prescribed and need medical knowledge to be administered with regards dosage.

these are not readily available at the local boots for the weekend bimble.
