Medication and Moon Rocks

When the Apollo 11 mission set off for the moon, what medicines did they pack in their first aid kit?

The command module’s medical kit contained: 

60 antibiotics; 12 antiemetics; 18 painkillers; 60 decongestants; 24 antidiarrhoeals; 72 aspirins; 21 sleeping aids; 12 stimulants; three injectable pain relievers; three motion sickness injectors, one bottle of ‘first aid ointment’; two bottles of eye drops; and three decongestant nasal sprays.

The lunar landing module contained: 

4 stimulants; 8 antidiarrhoeals (the lunar module did not have a toilet); 2 sleeping pills; 4 painkillers; 12 aspirins; and a bottle of eye drops.

By comparison, the International Space Station’s medicine kit contains 190 different medications along with advanced diagnostic and resuscitation equipment.
