Can antibiotics be stockpiled?
Is there a way to stockpile your medications AND others besides going to see your doctor? Yes!
I know that many of us are on chronic pharmaceuticals that are important to our functionality. Diabetes, blood pressure, kidney function, depression, etc., all need to be kept in check, especially during a long-term crisis. But what do we do if we don’t have access to those medications during a crisis? During COVID, many people reported not being able to get their prescriptions as needed when they needed for weeks. Even today, a mess up with the doctor communicating with insurance could delay us getting our necessary medication for weeks at a time. Some medications you can’t stop cold turkey, nor should you.
And what about antibiotics? What if you get a deep cut while you’re dealing with materials in a society-down scenario that you don’t normally have to deal with. How do you battle a tetanus infection? What about a UTI? Those can get serious. There’s a litany of instances I can think of in which an anti-biotic would be necessary and such a blessing should we find ourselves in a situation where there are no doctor and pharmaceutical options.
Is there an option for backup medications? Are we able to get our hands on a variety of antibiotics for the right scenarios? Tetanus is different from a

persistent earache or dental pain. What do you do? How can you be ready? And if you ARE able to get a stockpile, what’s the shelf life?
For some peace of mind, one of the strategies I deploy is to always fill my prescription as early as possible. Usually, that’s at least 4-5 days before I run out. When I do so, I set aside those 4-5 pills for a rainy day. But that doesn’t build up fast enough to my liking. I’d much rather have a one-year supply. Am I asking for too much?
The good news is that there is an alternative answer. You can get a supply of a variety of antibiotics and you can also get a 12 months supply of your chronic medications. JaseMedical.com was set up specifically to help preppers like you to be ready for what may come.

AND…in honor of September’s Emergency Preparedness Month, they are doing a “Buy One, Get One $30 off. Don’t buy them both at the same time, though. Buy the first one using this link and get $10 off.

- Metronidazole 500 mg
But then you can add on additional options such as Ivermectin and Fluconazole (used for UTIs or yeast infections, which can be deadly if left untreated, as it can lead to sepsis.)
What’s the shelf-life of pharmaceutics?
Now, let’s talk shelf-life. The good news is that the DOD, yes, the DOD, did a study on the shelf-life of pharmaceuticals. Why did the DOD do this and not some scientific arm of the US Government? I’ll never know, but they did the study, and the results are what I want. The interesting thing is, though, that they unpublished the study for some reason, but don’t worry because I have the results of the study that I got before they unpublished the results. The study was in conjunction with FEMA and was entitled “Stability Profiles of Drug Related Products Extended Beyond Labeled Expiration Dates” https://www.fda.gov/media/69957/download in which they discovered that the shelf-life of most capsule/tablet antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals had a shelf-life of 2 to 10 years. Now, the “2 years” may be disappointing for you, but consider this. They didn’t do the study over the course of two to 10 years; rather, it was a project that lasted several months in which they tested drugs that were between 2 and 10 years old and found them to still contain their original potency. So you have your answer.
So, get your booty over to JaseMedical.com, save yourself $10, it’s not much, but it’s something. And then save $30. You’ll be glad you have these on hand.
