Everyone knows that the most basic MUST-HAVE in clinics are the Emergency Drugs. You never know when the need arises because emergencies come uncalled! And as a doctor, you must always be prepared.
What are emergency drugs?
These are the fast-acting drugs which are used for acutely ill patients who are in need of an emergency.
What is an emergency drug kit?
Basically, all the emergency drugs should be kept within one container at the most accessible place in your clinic. What you lable this will be called, an emergency drug kit.
