Fifty extra-large wet wipes, each around three times the size of a standard baby wipe, according to the maker. That means fewer wipes for a thorough clean. They're useful for personal care when washing isn't possible, and for caring for someone who's unwell or immobile.

Pro First Aid Kit with Molle System Portable Emergency Survival Kit 

A clearly labelled first aid kit in a pouch that attaches to a bag or belt. The labelling is the clever part: anyone, including older children, can find the right item quickly, which helps everyone stay calm. A good kit for a car or grab bag. Check the contents and add any personal medicines.

nuromol.jpg
Nuromol Dual Action Ibuprofen Paracetamol Tablets

Tablets combining ibuprofen and paracetamol, which the maker says start to be absorbed in five minutes and last up to nine hours. It's sensible to keep pain relief at home rather than discover you've run out on a bank holiday. Check suitability first, especially with other medicines. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

A comprehensive 255-piece first aid kit in labelled compartments, with extra outdoor equipment included. Its size makes it a good choice for a car, caravan, or household's main kit. Learn what's in it before you need it, and pair it with a basic first aid course if you can.

immodium.jpg
Imodium Instants

Imodium tablets that melt on the tongue without water, for the relief of diarrhoea, which the maker says can help in under an hour. When water is scarce, needing none to take it is useful. Keep rehydration salts alongside. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

A gel that the maker says binds and removes harmful substances in the gut, including bacterial toxins and some viruses, for diarrhoea and IBS relief. Useful in the medicine cupboard and on holiday. Make sure you also keep up fluids. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

Bonjela.jpg
Bonjela Adult Gel

Bonjela adult gel for pain from mouth ulcers, cold sores, dentures, and sore spots, for adults and children over 16. It's useful to have, because a dentist may be hard to reach during a disrupted week. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

Electrorush Oral Rehydration Salts

Oral rehydration salts to replace sodium, potassium, magnesium, and lost fluids. After a stomach bug, or in a heatwave, they help the body recover much faster than water alone. Keep a box in the medicine cupboard and one in the grab bag. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

Electrorush ORS.jpg
Savlon.jpg
Savlon Antiseptic Cream

Savlon antiseptic cream for cleaning cuts, grazes, and minor wounds to help prevent infection. Minor injuries are more common during clean-ups, power cuts, and camping. Keep a tube in the first aid kit and the grab bag. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

Gaviscon.jpg
Gaviscon Double Action Chewable Tablets

Chewable Gaviscon Double Action tablets, which the maker says neutralise stomach acid and form a protective barrier lasting up to four hours. A disrupted week with irregular meals and stress can bring on heartburn. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

Hydrocortisone.jpg
Hydrocortisone Cream 1% Bite and Sting Cream

A 1% hydrocortisone cream for itchy, irritated, or inflamed skin from insect bites and stings, mild to moderate eczema, or contact dermatitis. A useful item in the summer medicine cupboard. Follow the label carefully on how long and where to use it. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

Calamine.jpg

24 Lozenges

Twenty-four honey and lemon Strepsils lozenges, which the maker says soothe the throat and contain an antiseptic to help fight infection. A small, familiar comfort to have in the medicine cupboard. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

I-Wash Eye Wash Bottle with Eye Bath

A single-use 500ml bottle of sterile eye wash, with an eye bath, for rinsing out dust and dirt. After a storm, flood, or clean-up, grit in the eye is common, and clean water may be scarce. For anything more serious, seek medical help. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

Eye Wash.jpg
Chloraseptic.jpg
Ultra Chloraseptic Anaesthetic Throat Spray

An anaesthetic throat spray that the maker says numbs pain in seconds with three sprays. It's useful for a particularly painful sore throat when lozenges aren't enough. Always read the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

Lemsip Max.jpg
Lemsip Max Cold and Flu, Paracetamol Capsules

Lemsip Max capsules containing paracetamol, for the relief of cold and flu symptoms including aches, fever, headache, blocked nose, and sore throat. Colds tend to arrive at the worst moment.
