What if I'm allergic or experience side effects from a medication?

To be clear, use of any medication carries a risk of harm. Any medication, even when used appropriately, could cause your condition to worsen, or cause you to become sick, permanently disabled, or result in death.

Allergic reactions are also a possibility with any medication, even if you have no history of allergies. Unless there is a contraindication, Med Kits often include first-line medications to treat an allergic reaction should one occur.

Your provider may discuss potential side effects with you and when you should discontinue use of a medication.

Although use of any medication is associated with some degree of risk, we believe that in an emergency situation, the benefits of having these medications immediately available to you may outweigh the potential risks.
