Dear Dr. Mahmood
Indian factory act allow only aspirin or paracetamol tablet to be keep in first aid kit. I dont know about Bangladesh.
Dear all,
the post, Jagdish V has mentioned above is very useful for indian factory act requirement. However please check your state specific factory rules for more information. We may keep aspirin or Paracetamol in first aid kit. and we must have to avoid combiflam and other such medicines keeping in first aid box, because it contains ibuprofen drug which comes under schedule H in India. Before keeping in medicines in first aid kit, please check the package of that medicines. If any of such package has labelled like "Schedule H drug" - than dont keep it in first aid kit.
I have some concern regarding use of mercurochrome and sal volatile. This two medicines are not generally regarded as safe.
