I’m working on getting more antibiotics

How does one do that, exactly? Will doctors prescribe some for contingencies?

Antibiotics have a limited shelf life.

Here is a post with text lifted from somewhere unknown written by a retired physician. Basically, he addresses the question of how to stock antibiotics, and surprisingly he recommends antibiotics for fish tanks. Same as for humans but prescription needed. This list is taken from his post, and he says that most expiration dates on antibiotics are baloney, except for tetracycline which will go toxic if stored too long....okay, scratch that one from the list, but I'm going to place an order for some of this stuff asap. I had wondered many times how to address the problem of stocking antibiotics, and now I know.

* FISH-MOX (amoxicillin 250mg)
* FISH_MOX FORTE (amoxicillin 500mg)
* FISH-CILLIN (ampicillin 250mg)
* FISH-FLEX Keflex 250mg)
* FISH-FLEX FORTE (Keflex 500mg)
* FISH-ZOLE (metronidazole 250mg)
* FISH-PEN (penicillin 250mg)
* FISH-PEN FORTE (penicillin 500mg)
* FISH-CYCLINE (tetracycline 250mg)

You can order antibiotics , no prescription , on the internet ... from almost any pet medication site ...

Most countries , especially poor countries , have no prescription requirements for ANY drugs ... poor people can’t afford a doctor ,, they go to the farmacia and the pharmacist prescribes and fills common items.. any caribbean , or latin american pharmacy will sell you a box (100) amoxicillim or penicillan ,,, cipro is cheap also ... next cruise vacation to somewhere buy a few boxes and mail them to yourself.

It’s also a VERY good idea to get some medications for common parasites , especially intestinal parasites.

We get our antibiotics for [our fish ;)] from revival:

Dispensing medicine without knowledge can be hazardous; knowing what to use for a given illness your fish might get can be difficult to decipher.

If you go to an agricultural supply store, the antibiotics marketed for livestock are the same as those for humans. You’ll need a scale to get the right dosage.
