With all of the discussion on the message board regarding medications in first aid kits, we thought the following website may be of interest. It addresses the potential interaction of medications commonly found in “off the shelf” first aid kits.

A cursory search for Aspirin returned the following:
64 Major drug interactions
302 Moderate drug interactions
72 Minor drug interactions
2 Food/Lifestyle interactions
9 Disease Interactions
As always, information obtained on the internet should in no way supersede the advice of your consulting physician. In fact, Title 8 CCR 3400 and 1512 require written physician approval for all medications kept in workplace first aid kits.
