Hmm. For medicinals, maybe use the WHO's list of essential medications (wiki version linked here), figure out what herbal/bacterial/etc. equivalents there are and create a very pared-down version from that?
One that I would want to make sure was around if your folks are going to be around a lot of strange flora and fauna is epinephrine of some form. Being able to bring people out of anaphylactic shock = good. :)
Also, this one's a fairly simple chemical with a long history of use rather than a plant-derived medicine, but Magnesium sulfate, aka Epsom salt. VERY important if you're wanting to have basic medical means of dealing with some of the trickier pregnancy complications, and has many other medical uses as well.
What is the situation on this planet for mining, etc.? Can it be usefully done, and should it be? Or will this just completely screw up the local ecology?
