Thanks for sharing this important list, Emergency medications aren’t just drugs, they’re lifesavers kept within arm’s reach. Common essentials include epinephrine (for anaphylaxis or cardiac arrest), atropine (for bradycardia), amiodarone (for arrhythmias), lidocaine, sodium bicarbonate, dextrose, calcium chloride, and vasopressors like dopamine or epinephrine . These meds need to be ready and easily accessible in critical moments.
