That's what I'm saying. OTC meds that anyone can get almost anywhere. There's a small book I've been using since my early Medic days at my first duty station. It's up to you but get the Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopia : http://www.amazon.com/Tarascon-Pocket-Pharmacopoeia-Classic-Shirt-Pocket/dp/1284095290/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450207414&sr=8-1&keywords=tarascon+pocket+pharmacopoeia+2016
I would put it in a heavy duty ziplock back for your BoB. If you've got more BoBs and medical kits, get one for each. It won't tell you which drugs to use for what ailments. It has route of admin, min/max dose, Brand/Generic names, etc.
It is small lettering for a good reason. This can go in your pants pocket. It's smaller than an empty wallet. This has been a highly valued item in my BoB and medical kit.
I wouldn't pay as a student to get the advanced version of Epocrates. If the hospital has access to UpToDate and/or Lexicomp I would use those if you need more information. You could also purchase this pocket guide (https://www.amazon.com/Tarascon-Pocket-Pharmacopoeia-Classic-Shirt-Pocket/dp/1284095290/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1467399861&sr=1-1&keywords=tarascon+pocket+pharmacopoeia+2016) if you really like. However, as a student you won't be prescribing medications so I would just save your money.
I've been using Tarascon pocket pharmacopoeia shirt-pocket edition and it has been great for looking up dosages, warnings, etc. it also has some nice reference charts at the beginning of each section.
