Oregon (dominated by the Antifa/Nannys) seems to require a Vet's Rx. This seems to have been doubled down after Ivermectin got popular, but it was starting earlier.<br /><br />I'm not sure if it's all meds, but you'd need to check.<br /><br />I built up my stash by taking advantage of the lead time in refills. A 90 day supply could be refilled at 83 days, and my doctors have never noticed (or cared) that the interval between new prescriptions isn't a multiple of 90 days. For some meds, I've been on them a long time, and the backup supply is comfortable.RCPetenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-71433565776429211512023-01-20T19:19:05.012-06:002023-01-20T19:19:05.012-06:00It is getting harder to get veterinary antibiotics...It is getting harder to get veterinary antibiotics. The USDA is putting pressure on supply stores to require a vet's prescription, even online. I'm not sure about fish or reptile antibiotics (the majority of veterinary tablet antibiotics) but any others are getting hammered hard. They say it is to limit the antibiotics in our food supply, but the outcome is that it is getting harder to do anything that doesn't have their sticky fingers in it.Cheri in the easthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145784265997799410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-52599345868551742822023-01-20T18:42:59.850-06:002023-01-20T18:42:59.850-06:00Since i have had problems with recurrent infection...Since i have had problems with recurrent infections in a wound that has reopened several times the providers seem to be willing to write me a script to keep on the shelf as long as I swear on my mothers grave that I will make an appointment ASAP if I start them. The problem with 90 day supply meds is that I believe the pharmacy can’t refill them by law until you are down to certain level. I think you could refill them at another pharmacy if the doctor will give you a different script. I did manage to get ahead on some of mine when I spent three months in a nursing home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-85637972040699573872023-01-20T14:19:14.576-06:002023-01-20T14:19:14.576-06:00I'm on a injectable med in 'Glucagon-like ...I'm on a injectable med in 'Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist' family for diabetes. So far mine hasn't had shortages but diabetics are starting see them in other types because the FDA authorized them to be used as weight loss drugs. And of course that has gotten people demanding they be prescribed to them.<br /><br />Seal Of Lionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304620391386824536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-11872176611742777122023-01-20T12:26:55.701-06:002023-01-20T12:26:55.701-06:00Ordering from overseas is still completely legal. ...Ordering from overseas is still completely legal. I've done it 1-2x per year for over a decade using AllDayChemist.com. I have had one shipment confiscated by US Customs. I contacted ADC and they replaced it immediately, no questions asked. <br /><br />Obviously, a person wouldn't stock any drug that he knows he's allergic to, but it bears keeping in mind that a person can develop an allergy to any thing at any time, including drugs that were previously used without issue. <br /><br />Also, you don't have to know how to use them if you aren't comfortable with that, though it would be wise to learn everything you can about them and your conditions. A lot of antibiotics have interactions with food that can negate (or potentiate) their efficacy. A doctor or drug reference will help. Ideally, you would only be stocking these drugs so that you have them available when a doctor prescribes them for you. Look to Venezuela. They still have doctors who can prescribe essential medications. They just don't have the meds. <br /><br />"Fish" antibiotics are still sold without a prescription in the US (until June 2023, when the FDA will remove them from the shelves) in the exact dosages as used for people. <br /><br />There are a lot of articles on this very topic and on the individual antibiotics (as well as a lot of critical OTC medications to stock up on) at the Prep School Daily blog. Peter's got a link to it way down on this page under his "Reciprocal Blogroll" list.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08747247602946523986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-56725194586258246342023-01-20T11:46:10.763-06:002023-01-20T11:46:10.763-06:00Have you looked at the cough drops aisle lately?

It's not cheap, and as you say, scripts are filled cash upfront, whether you use a local pharmacy or out of state. There are a number of them out there, the one I have experience with, getting Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine from is called Synergyhealthdpc(dot)com. It's telemedicine on a large scale, and with a membership, you can consult a nurse practicioner or doctor at any time.<br /> I can also recommend Jasemedical(dot)com as a source of an antibiotic package originally intended for world travelers, that I obtained as a backup plan if ever needed.<br /> There are likely other alternatives out there, but these have worked for me with very little difficulty. I have no other connection to them except as a client.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183459827508486809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-90622893744165933002023-01-20T10:58:25.583-06:002023-01-20T10:58:25.583-06:001) Tarascon Pocket Pharmacoepia 2020 (most recent ...1) Tarascon Pocket Pharmacoepia 2020 (most recent ed.
