Strong Painkiller idea's to take with you
Nearly every trip ive done recently someone has ended up on painkillers.
Don swears by 800mg ibuprofen.
I carry:
500mg hydrocodone tablets (take 3 x a day)
50mg merperidine (demerol) tablets (1 tablet daily)
I think Robert carries morphine tablets, the problem with morphine and merperidine in indigestible form is they are not anywhere near as effective as when they are injected into the blood stream. On the yacht we carry inject-able merperidine, which is only really used in an operating theater. A heart surgeon friend of mine thinks this is the best choice for extreme emergency pain.
