I talked with my doctor about getting some prescriptions for at home, she wrote me 3 prescriptions for some anti's, not a whole lot just enough for 1 person 4 weeks. Easy and pretty cheap too.
You can get anti biotics at pet stores with no prescription, they are the same ones humans use and much cheaper than a prescription. I believe the Army does this when in foreign nations, when they have to.
Pharmacists in this country are horribly under-utilized - they should be able to do the same and it would reduce a lot of pressure on our health care system. They are not "techs" - they have serious doctoral education in biomedical pharmacology. Just having them fill prescriptions is a terrible, terribly waste in my opinion.
Sorry, rant off.
Yea, use at your own risk, I have used the fish amoxicillin before and it worked and I didn't get sick, but others online report getting sick while using them.
When I landed went to the pharmacists on Santa Maria Island, Azores he gave me a prescript 1 for pain & sleep, 1 for non drowsy antihistamine.
Ideally, I'd like to check my disaster supplies once annually (maybe I should pick a date?) and replace things at that time. Realistically, I do "ok" keeping track of food/water/gas replacement, but the medications seem to get forgotten.
OK, in a post SHTF scenario, I understand people using the big guns like cipro for wounds etc....but...
this is the old lab tech talking here, and just a warning that all antibiotics won't work on all bacteria. There is a reason we always do a sensitivity when we do a culture. Even within the same genus/specie of bug, different strains of the same bacteria will have differing levels of sensitivity to an antimicrobial....
Shotgun techniques with antibiotics, post SHTF, are wasteful, but about the only thing you can do if you fear sepsis...use what you got and hope that you are going to kill it, but the best advise is to be careful and proper wound care - wash the wound with betadine, wash your hands, clean dressings, wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands....
