such as what might be the inability to get prescription drugs,etc. ?"

Prepper Medicines (information contained in books and online)
The best information on prescription drugs, contra-indications, side effects, and color photos for medication pills and tablets identification is the:
PDR ..(Physicians Desk Reference) which is published and updated annually in order to remain current (generally comes out in the beginning of the year).
The PDR is a directory of all approved FDA medications, but may also require a dictionary to understand context since it is published to professional physicians.
Physicians pay for the PDR subscription, but generally throw out the previous copies;
if you have a close relationship with a physician, ask for their older office copy.

that there is 'no such thing as a stupid question, ..except a failure to ask '.

Prescription meds are the ones of greatest concern because it is difficult, but not impossible, to stock up on those.

For general first aid type stuff, all the over the counter stuff is readily available and much of it used to need a prescription but has been dosed for OTC use.

So it’s easy to stock up on first aid ointment, bandages, antihistamines, reflux meds, etc. Don’t forget antiseptics, tweezers, nail clippers, personal care and hygiene items, cotton balls, Q-tips, toothpaste, floss, toothbrushes, etc.

Look at what you have and what you use and replace anything old or worn out that needs replacing. Check expiration dates on ointments and creams.

So much of a well stocked medicine cabinet takes up very little space and you could easily store a few years worth of stuff in a small space.

Another thing I have always done is saved medical equipment from injuries, etc. So I have carpal tunnel braces, slings, knee braces, canes, a walker, a shower stool, etc
