Here you'll find items for your home medicine cabinet and everyday health. For small wounds there are Hansaplast Universal plasters, and Coalgan wicks to stop a nosebleed. Quies makes wax earplugs against noise. For taking temperatures there's the Braun IRT 3030 ear thermometer, and Fluorecare has self-tests for respiratory complaints. NOW Foods and Swanson supply dietary supplements.
How do you put together a home medicine cabinet?
Think in situations rather than products. For small cuts and grazes, plasters in different sizes are enough, so you don't have to cut them to size every time. A nosebleed that keeps coming back is the reason to keep wicks at home. An ear thermometer measures quickly, which is handy with children who won't sit still, but stick to the same method if you're tracking a fever over several days. Wax earplugs mould to your ear canal and are meant for sleeping and noise nuisance, not for working with heavy machinery. For everyday care, look at Body care. Also take a look at our Body care › collection.
Not suitable if you're looking for prescription medicines or a first-aid kit that meets a workplace standard. For persistent symptoms or doubts about a test result, your GP or pharmacy remains the right place to go.
Frequently asked questions
Are wax earplugs reusable?
The Quies earplugs come in pairs and you can use them for several nights as long as they stay clean and supple. Once they've gone hard or dirty, they no longer seal properly and it's time to replace them.
Does an ear thermometer give reliable readings in children?
Yes, provided you always take the reading the same way and the ear canal is clean. Ideally use the same ear each time, and don't compare readings with a measurement taken elsewhere on the body.
What should I look out for with a self-test?
Check the expiry date and let the test reach room temperature before use. Stick to the stated reading time. A result is a snapshot, so if you're in doubt or symptoms persist, contact your GP.
