Antibiotics

Post by space.gamer »

Hi, quick question. Does anyone have any good tips on getting a small stash of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin? I can’t go to the Dr with a pretend chest infection very easily and I can’t get them over the counter. Likewise, I’m not sure how trustworthy some of these online chemists are where you may be able to get some (or do you have any recommendations?). I don’t really have any friends or family that have some unused antibiotics laying around either.

Thanks in advance.

Legally no

From the antibiotic resistance due to over use . No

Got a foreign trip planned? Sometimes you can get them to Cary as part of a foreign trip medical kit from a legitimate online supplier but often the shelf life is very short eg:

If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

me too! I would love to have a stash of antibiotics but can't find a way to do it. The only suggestion I have is to research alternatives. Manuka honey or indeed any honey is a useful alternative for some things. Garlic, tea tree oil, tumeric spring to mind but any herbal will give you ideas. okay it's not going to be as easy, quick or assured as chemical meds but needs must -

It's to be discouraged, of course. Illegal and inappropriate. But I share your interest.

It used to be that FishMox Forte was readily available, which was the exact same as human amoxicillin. It sometimes pops up on US amazon and ebay, but you are unlikely to get the genuine product. Lots of fraud!
My US acquaintance tells me that it's prescription only even for her.

Covid lockdown was handy in a way, where Doctors were doing phone consultations and were able to prescribe for a recurring 'Water infection'. But he needed reminding which treatments I'd had before and which antibiotics 'usually do the trick', which strangely enough was amoxicillin.
Covid was a bad time for 'down below'... genuinely! :)

You'll be hard pressed to find an online pharmacy that will help you. I have one for some prescription creams, but they don't offer what you need.

If you can borrow a manky dog with an ear infection, he might have more luck getting them.

Post apocalypse, you can get them from most pharmacies and some old peoples' homes by nipping round with your bumpkeys and jemmy. :lol:

I read in the times that the powers that be whoever they are are suggesting substitution of antibiotics for honey
We all know its got healing properties but believe me when my cystitis comes on and I'm doubled up thinking razor blades are coming out of me I need the antibiotics for them
Fortunately my gp is really good and prescribes them in front so I usually have a box of them in
The usual cranberry , honey whatever just doesn't help for that but has its uses for other stuff coughs colds etc
If people have stuff on repeat you can tend to get ahead by ordering a week before theyre due but I think in a SHTF situation I'd probably be the first one down to the pharmacy looking for the cystitis tabs 😂

You guys make the good point that our emergency supplies should have the simple meds that make life liveable. Beyond antibiotics and diarolyte, immodium etc, we might forget cold sore ointment, canneston, athlete's foot treatments and good old sore bum cream. All things that might flair up in the stress of teotwawki
