First Aid

A well-stocked first aid kit helps you deal with everyday minor injuries, bites, stings and grazes at home or on the go. GetMyMeds offers a selection of antiseptics and soothing creams for common minor mishaps.

How It Works

These are everyday over-the-counter products you can buy without an online consultation. They include antiseptic creams and liquids to help clean minor wounds, plus soothing treatments for insect bites and stings. For anything beyond a minor injury, or if you are unsure, ask your pharmacist for advice.

Who Is It For

These products suit individuals and families wanting to keep essentials on hand for minor cuts, grazes, bites and stings. Antiseptic creams and liquids help reduce the risk of infection in small wounds, while bite and sting treatments can ease itching and irritation. They are not a substitute for medical care in more serious situations. Deep wounds, signs of infection, severe allergic reactions or injuries that will not stop bleeding need urgent medical attention.

FAQ

How should I treat a minor cut or graze? Clean the area gently, control any bleeding, and apply an antiseptic if appropriate. Cover with a plaster or dressing if needed, and keep an eye out for signs of infection.

What should I do for an insect bite or sting? Many bites and stings can be soothed with a bite and sting cream or treatment to relieve itching. Seek urgent help if there are signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face or difficulty breathing.

When should I see a doctor? If a wound is deep, very dirty, will not stop bleeding, or shows signs of infection such as increasing redness, swelling or pus, seek medical advice.
