10 pills of Tylenol (250mg / pill = 2500mg), red circular pill - Pain reliever that doesn't thin blood in case of injury (concussion, open wound). Also, In case I run out of IBP and need more pain relief (usually because of sharing).
15 pills of Benedryl (25mg / pill = 375mg), hot pink oval pill - Sleep aid, allergies, and stings!
10 chewable tabs of Pepto Bismol (bismuth, the wonder-element), light pink chewable circular tab - Antimicrobial. Helps cure stomach/GI issues
10 tablets of Imodium, light teal oval pill – this will prevent water loss if you have excessive diarrhea, but one should show preference to Pepto as it is antimicrobial. Imodium will make you hold on to whatever stomach bug you have for longer, so use it as a means to prevent dehydration.
Small tube of Lotrimin - Anti-fungal cream. No one wants to say they'll need it, until they need it. (s/o to u/Natural_Law for this suggestion)
Bandaids/blister stuff - Cuts, scrapes, blisters, etc.
Medical tape / finger tape - Compression for reduced swelling, also can come in handy with stabilizing a rolled ankle
Antibiotic ointment packets (2 or 3, really light) - Use these when you have cuts. Prevent infection.
Comes in at about 2oz and I've used it every single time I've been on the trail either for me, for someone else, or both.
