I’ve often wondered, if the SHTF and you cannot get a scrip from your Dr., are there any OTC veternarian antibiotics that would be effective for human use?

All those listed on this post.

“are there any OTC veternarian antibiotics that would be effective for human use?”

The answer is NO. Because people were doing this years ago, the FDA made all vet medicine available only by vet prescription.

HOWEVER, as Kartographer suggested, get the fish ones, same quality as human ones, made in the same plants according to a doctor into these things.

When you decide what you want, look on the web for the dosage of the medicine and print it so you will have it with the medicine.

While these antibiotics may be identically-formulated to their human counterparts any use of such antibiotics should only be under the most desperate circumstances. For example, you might give yourself the wrong antibiotic, or you may not know how many doses that you need, resulting in the bug becoming drug-resistant.

Also, if you self-prescribe then on a future visit with a doctor the doctor may not have a precise record of what you have taken.
