Prescription Medications

Many people have asked how to have extra prescription meds. for a 72 hr. kit, when you aren't allowed to get even a few days of extra to have on hand. My suggestion is to get your prescription filled 3-4 days before you run out. Put the date on the bottle of the 3-4 days of meds. that you have left and put them in your kits. Do that each month for a few months, say 6 months. At the end of the 6 months, start taking the meds. from your kit each month, starting with the oldest dated ones. Meds. are usually good for up to a year, so you don't have to worry about them being bad after 6 months (please check with your pharmacist though to make sure, I'm not a doctor). If you do this, at the end of the 6 months you will have several days of medications to keep you going until you can get more. Keep it going though. Don't take any out without replacing them. I hope this helps.

If you purchase your prescription in a 90 day supply, most companies will let you refill that prescription one month before you run out.
