Any pointers to previous threads or websites to the real shelf life of various meds- prescription and non-prescription?
e.g.
Children's Tylenol- I'd like to stock up, but shelf life says 1 year on the bottle
Cipro- got tons after 9/11, do I toss it?
Potassium Iodide?
Amoxicillin?
Anyone care to share what they're stocking and why?
I've thought about things like EpiPens, etc. that I don't need, but might be useful for others.
I have doctors in my (distant) family that can prescribe anything I want (well, except for fun stuff like oxycodone, etc)- but I don't want to abuse the privilege if I don't need to. (i.e. if my Cipro, Amoxicillin, etc is still good, even though it's past the expiration dates)
Anyhow, not well thought out yet, but it's what I'm currently thinking about for TEOTWAWKI planning.
Thanks-
