What should you have in your medicine cabinet?

January 15, 2009

Here’s what an emergency physician would recommend.

In addition to everyday things like gauze, alcohol wipes, bandages, and select over the counter medications, some of the non-traditional items include hemostats and trauma shears (both available online), as well as Krazy Glue.

Why Krazy Glue? Dermabond, liquid bandage that’s often used in the emergency department, has the same active ingredient that’s found in Krazy Glue.
