[QUOTE="Taxman, post: 886572, member: 15754"] If carrying Epi-Pens or other medications, make sure you look at the expiration date periodically. Epi-Pens typically have an 18-month shelf life. Other medicines such as Tylenol and Advil can last several years before they lose their medicinal qualities. Also, if you keep an Epi-Pen in your kit, make sure you don't leave it in the heat, cold or in direct sunlight for very long. Epinephrine oxidizes in extreme temperatures and becomes ineffective. I usually keep my Epi-Pens in my medicine cabinet and take them with me on vacations or excursions. I don't leave them in my first aid kit. Something I recently learned is that heat also affects the elasticity and adhesive quality of band-aids and surgical tape. I'm considering just removing the first aid kit altogether from my truck and only taking it with me when travelling long distances or on vacations, camping, etc. [/QUOTE]
