These are the potential medical items you can find here and what they do:

Bandages: Used for bandaging wounds and for bleeding quicker than rags.

Blood Collection Kit: Used to collect blood from yourself or another survivor which turns it into a Blood Bag for use later with an IV Starter Kit.

Saline Bag: Used to speed up natural blood recovery.

Multivitamin Pills: Used to boost your immune system.

Codeine Pills: Used to treat pain from minor physical injuries.

Charcoal Tablets: Used to cure poisoning such as food poisoning or from drinking gasoline, alcoholic tincture, or disinfectant spray.

Tetracycline Pills: Used as an antibiotic to treat most diseases.

Epinephrine Auto-Injector: Used to reset your shock level. Best used when close to or already falling unconscious.

Morphine Auto-Injector: Used when you have low health to negate some of the negatives effects for a brief time.

The most important of these you want to always have on you are Bandages, Tetracycline Pills, and Charcoal Tablets. Ideally you want to have had an Epi-Pen and Multivitamins too.
