An Ounce Of Preparation Is Worth A Pound Of Cure

by: News Canada


(NC)-Doesn't it always seem that you are out of bandages just when you need one the most - your new shoes have created massive blisters on your feet or you have just nicked yourself in the kitchen. With a bit of planning and well thought-out purchases, you can keep your medicine cabinet stocked with the necessary essentials and be prepared for all common medical situations.
Things your bathroom cabinet should never be without:

Bandages and gauze to keep wounds covered and clean
Medicated cream or antibiotic ointment
Antiseptic wash for cleaning and disinfecting scrapes, cuts and burns
Decongestant and serum for cold and cough
Antihistamine for relief from allergies
Pain, inflammation and fever relievers
Anti-nausea tablets and bismuth subsalicylate for diarrhea
An eyewash to flush harmful substances from the eyes
A thermometer to monitor body temperature for fever
A first aid handbook - reviewed regularly, preferably before an emergency occurs.

With Canadians' safety in mind, a variety of advanced care products have been created to treat all minor wounds, including BAND-AID® Brand Hurt-Free™ Antiseptic Wash - a cleanser featuring an anesthetic to help ease the throbbing of minor wounds - and BAND-AID® Brand Water Block Plus™ Finger-Wrap - with a unique tapered design to stay on fingers better. For more information on first care contact the BAND-AID® website at bandaid.com.
