Prepping Prescription Medications

There’s one area that often confounds being prepared for unforeseen events—prescription medications. It’s an unfortunate reality that many people are reliant upon pharmaceuticals to make it through the day.

There are any number of reasons why grabbing a refill at the very last minute might not be feasible. That’s why it’s important to plan ahead. Fortunately, there are a couple of approaches to consider.

Good article, since I am on all kinds of meds now, I try to keep a small stash of each, 3 weeks worth just in case, especially since the Covid supply chain issues…..thanks @Talyn
 
this is a good idea.....however.....

at least 2 things, maybe 3, things to consider.

1) out of pocket costs for prescription meds. i get 90 day supplies free of charge with my Blue Cross

so if i had to pay for more pills, just to have them in my kit, here are 2 things i have to deal with.....A) cost, and B) this cuts down on refills available..the pharmacy simply WILL NOT give me a refill without contacting the doctor before it is time, then comes the questions as to am i over-dosing, or selling them.


2) storage,.... all meds have an expiration date, so what, let them expire, and pay all over again for more.??

meds that are not prescriptions can be bought OTC and fairly cheap, that's for sure.

but for those of us on prescribed meds, to buy them just to have them in a prepping situation will kill us due to the high(er) costs of medical coverages.

and also, many meds are simply too high, and many times co-pays do not cover the added costs.
 
well after surviving for four days with zero blood pressure meds, etc with no real issues
we figure grab what we have, which could be 1 week or a 90 days supply, depending on when they arrive

during covid the VA in the wisdom of the government would only refill blood pressure for 30 days at a time vice the 90 prior to the world ending event .
its great to plan, but having a large stock of meds is just not a real thing in our house
i put fresh water and food on top of list
i like these articles as they do make you think and maybe better organize

If you didn't read it the article describes a technique whereas you can self-stash a supply off your standard Rx.

Once you have your desired extra supply, just rotate it into your regular useage schedule while you replace it with newly purchased Rx meds.

And, as per my note, you can extend shelf life by putting meds in the frig.

actually i did cruise parts of it..

my meds get "adjusted" from time to time, be they my BP (on 4 right now) , kidney, heart burn, acid reflux (on 2 meds), diabetic (on 4 right now) and Iron.....so i go and get such an emergency supply by the doctor, and next month any one of them get nixed for a different script?

can you see the senselessness of doing what the author says..??

all his talk is for regular people, on like maybe 1 script...

its not a 1 fits all article.
 
I personally felt this in 2020.

Some certain useless POS political figure who may or may not be running for president again hyped the benefits of hydroxychloroquine as a COVID treatment(it isn’t, it wasn’t, it’s been proven), and all of a sudden, I couldn’t get it. Instead of the name brand Plaquenil, I had to take crap made in India by a manufacturer that the FDA had blocked…but then approved because of “emergency measures”.

So…yeah. I’ve got a 6-month stockpile of the real stuff now. Early prescription renewal works.

I am. Ivermectin is a more useful med for a variety of aliments, and one of the safest meds according to the WHO.

It's handed out like candy in Africa.

The Fauci Mafia (aka BIG Pharma) gave it a bad name since it was cheap to make vs. Big Pharma wanting to make BIG $$ on their crappy so-called vaccines. The CDC had to change the definition of a vaccine since none of the shots actually function as a real vaccine.

I got Covid in March of 2020. It took me 4 days to kick it (it ws like a really bad flu) and was fine until I got my (2) Pfizer) shots in the spring of 21 and then I got a vaccine injury from the shots. A type of non-debilitating neuropathy that I've toughed it out on since.

But I religiously get my flu shot every year , and have gotten almost all of the recommended CDC vaccinations on their list.

Ivermectin tablets are approved by the FDA to treat people with intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, two conditions caused by parasitic worms. In addition, some topical forms of ivermectin are approved to treat external parasites like head lice and for skin conditions such as rosacea.Apr 5, 2024

we mostly used it for cattle, but originally the use was for humans.

i can't get refills unless it's within 2 days of X amount (say 30 day supply) of ending use. pain meds require a dr. appt. i save my past bottles for travel as not to have all in 1 place in case of theft or loss. my bp meds (used for pain control as when my pain levels go up, my bp does also. so, every 28 days i could theoretically could get more of those.
 
Many meds have "off-label" uses once the Medical folks investigate each one more.
