list of meds?

[ivey_usmc]

Im going to attend a paramedic course soon and I wanted to learn about the meds first. Is there a list of meds paramedics carry for the state of Texas?

Texas is a delegated practice state, and as such we theoretically have an unlimited list of meds we can give and skills we can perform.


Having said that, this is the primary list from my school

1. Activated charcoal 35. Mannitol

Linus hit on the common list of medications paramedics carry. There are a few on that list like mannitol and labetolol that are not commonly carried in all systems, however I like to think of the drug box as a mobile crash cart with some added goodies.
