    Read all written instructions for use of prescription medications and possible complications, and store them with the medication. Consider buying a commercial first aid kid or consulting your physician for help in assembling your kit. Consider taking a wilderness first aid course before departing on a back country trip. Do not give medication to children or pregnant women before consulting a physician.
