What to pack for Vancouver trip?

Which medicines should a person pack when going on a trip?

• Obviously, a person should pack any prescription medications that they are taking, as well as any special over the counter medicines (allergy, etc.) that they need regularly. What I want to know is which over the counter medicines that people use occasionally should be taken on a trip. I often go on business trips or weekend trips where I am gone for only 1 or 2 nights. The only medicines I pack are a small bottle of tylenol and a bottle of Pepto Bismol caplets. These two medicines may not be ideal for every situation, but they can take care of a lot of minor problems that could happen in the middle of the night when pharmacies and grocery stores are closed. Does anyone have suggestions on any other medicines a person should pack on a trip? I'm going on my first week-long business trip in July, and if anyone thinks that a person should bring additional medicines for a longer trip, feel free to add any suggestions.
