A first aid class/briefing that teaches how to administer acetaminophen and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride tablets. A soldier can have minor medical conditions such as minor aches and pains, common cold, headache, or sinus allergies which would normally be treated with medication available without a prescription. Unfortunately, on a battlefield, these “common” drugs may not be easily obtained. The combat lifesaver aid bag contains a supply of acetaminophen (such as Tylenol®) and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (such as Sudafed®) tablets which can be administered to soldiers until they can obtain their own medication at sick call.
