Constant Travel Essential
Have bought these over and over. I buy them for trips, but they come in handy when living in my computer bag. So handy and let's me be the guy on the spot with co-corkers and traveling companions. Excellent product.

All your OTC meds in one place.
It was great to have a variety of medications while traveling. My only comment was that the packaging is a little bulky for travel, but probably great for a first aid kit etc.

Not the best value, but most convenient packaging for travel where drugs may be scrutinized
I already have large bottles of all the medications I use occasionally at home, but I wanted packaged pills to put in a travel first aid kit. If money is tight, just buy some tiny Nalgene bottles or jars--or use ziplock bags--and package your own pills from larger bottles sold by a warehouse club or generic ones from the local drugstore. That's what I do for domestic travel and road trips.For convenience when traveling internationally, however, where unmarked pills might get extra scrutiny or even cause legal trouble, this set is ideal. Expiration dates will be roughly two years out, but I see no promise of this fact. It's worth noting that tests conducted for the US military found the majority of pills are effective long past sell by dates (average of 15 YEARS), so I take these dates with a grain of salt for dry tablets kept in moderate conditions (my climate controlled home.)(I'm using a study by Gikonyo, Gikonyo, Luvayo, and Ponoth as the basis for this fact. Look up "Drug expiry debate: the myth and the reality")The outer baggie containing these pill packets has a date sticker of 04/2023 on it. Since I ordered in June 2022, I'm guessing they were packed on 04/2022 and this is a convenience sticker for their warehouse. Either that, or they date the outer package with the SOONEST TO EXPIRE medication pack inside.Here's exactly what I got in mid-June 2022:My aspirin (label: ASPIRIN) expires 2023-April (04)My ibuprofen (label: I-PRIN, generic Advil) expires 2024-May (05)My calcium carbonate (label: ALCALAK, generic Tums) expires 2024-May (05)My loperamide (label: DIAMODE, generic Imodium) expires 2024-June (06)My diphenhydramine (label: DIPHEN, generic Benadryl) expires 2024-October (10)My acetaminophen (label: APAP, generic Tylenol) expires 2025-January (01)The labels and instructions on these small packets will be difficult for most people to read. I will separate them into baggies by type and write the popular brand name on the outside of each baggie, also possibly the common use (e.g., "for upset stomach" and "for pain.") I'm pretty familiar with all of these drugs, and my family can all see better than I do. For someone with vision issues, I'd enlarge the instructions on a photocopier or download the information from the internet to print out and put with each packet in my baggie.In the USA, I see "extra strength" pills being sold more commonly. Be aware the included generic Tylenol comes at the lower "regular" strength. Generic Tums in this kit is LESS than the "regular strength" sold at my local pharmacy of 500 mg; the ALCALAK is 420 mg. Other medications match what I see being sold at the pharmacy in dosage.
