Putting them on my ‘list’... thx!

My eyes just glaze-over in the cereal aisle; too many choices! Candy aisles are even worse.

I installed a Rinnai two years ago and our family loves it. Two people can shower at once, in separate showers of course, so there is no problem with demand. We had an 8 year old electric tank water heater and my electric bill has declined sharply and my gas bill didn’t go up that much. I installed a 97% efficient modulating York furnace a year before the tankless water heater. The next project will be a two stage heatpump, but I didn’t think about efficiency because I need a larger blower motor and bigger furnace body to achieve a high SEER to get a good rebate.

Looks like you’ve got large jars of mayo down there in the corner next to the Minute Rice; are you expecting to have refrigeration for after you open them?

I guess that after last night, we should all start wearing our pants in that fashion.

Prepper threads seem less and less “Out There” as we go along. Still can’t seem to stop shaking my head.

Hope you don’t mind if I go off-topic.

I’m looking for some vet meds to have on hand, but don’t want to have to invest a ton of money since it appears they last 12-18 months only.

Out of this list, which 2 would you say would be best to have?
Penicillin 500mg Fish Pen Forte
Amoxicillin 500mg Fish Mox Forte
Ciprofloxacin 500mg Fish Flox Forte
Cephalexin, or Keflex 500mg Fish Flex Forte
Ampicillin 250 mg Fish-Cillin
Metronidazole 250 mg Fish-Zole

They last far longer than that.

If it's a "cillin" it's penicillin related.
Amoxicillin wold be the best for upper respiratory infections and it has broad spectrum activity.
Ciprofloxacin is great for urinary tract infections, lower respiratory infections, and infectious diarrhea.
Cephalexin is good for skin and skin structure infections, and is a good alternative to penicillins for those with a penicillin sensitivity.
Metronadizole is useful for anerobic infections such as peritonitis, diverticulitis, empyema, pneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, lung abscess, diabetic foot ulcer, meningitis and brain abscesses, bone and joint infections, septicemia, endometritis, endocarditis, and giardiasis.

I don't know what you are looking for, but there is a whole myriad of antibiotics, some which work better than others for certain infections. They will generally last over 5 years if kept in a cool, dark place. The dates just ensure rotation of stocks.

Yup, I saw that before. I use most medicines and canned food long after it ‘expires’. Haven’t had any problems yet.

But I still don’t want to have bottles of 100 of each type if they are interchangable.

Read through this article it has a list of antibiotics that cover 90% of infections.

Maybe I missed it; maybe you’re thinking of another article?

I didn’t see the antibiotic list.

The only one mentioned by name and its uses was:
“Albert Poirier, quality-assurance director for Bayer’s pharmaceutical division, says he isn’t surprised because Cipro “is a stable drug molecule” in tablet form. “We go for a shelf life that will be safest for patients,” he says. “We want the drug to be used up within three years. We wouldn’t want a patient to have it for 10 years because they’d have an old package insert” that might omit new information or contra-indications and because “we’d have no control over how they’d store the drug during this time.”

So, I should throw out a perfectly good drug b/c the insert may not be current? Silliness.

Thanks for the list.

I’m looking for two, maybe three medicines to buy and keep for when TSHTF. If possible - perhaps all that you listed are only good for the individual infections you listed, that it’s not possible....

Cipro and cephalexin(Keflex)would be my choices.

Why do I think these last few weeks gave birth to many new preppers to be in the NY-NJ area?
