List of medicines for students going abroad

A well-stocked medicine kit kept within easy reach is a necessity for every home. It is more than important to have a first-aid kit when you are out of your comfort zone, miles away, pursuing your dream. Having medicinal supplies gathered ahead of time will help you handle minor emergencies. It may be useful if you have an information booklet along with your medicine supplies.

 

Here we provide you with the list of medicines and their dosages for the respective symptoms or indications.
