Antibiotics

You can get cipro in mexico like it's candy at any drug store..

Head to mexico on vacation and bring back SHTF supplies.. what could be better?

Grab a bag of American-exported guns while you're down there and then dump them on Eric Holder's front lawn.

you sure it was malaria and sure it was cipro? ive never heard of using cipro for plasmodium parasites. ive seen tetracycline back in the day, doxycycline and clindamycin, but not cipro. strange.

what do you mean exactly that moxi if their drug of choice? for everything for for a specific infection?

Yeah quite certain - I had cyclic fevers and it took a week (3 ER trips and one PCP, two lumbar punctures) to get there but it was. It was Cipro because at the time I was on a DHS WMD response team and did not want any Cipro because that and Doxy were our anti-b's for bio agents.

That's also what they were giving the Peace Corps members in country with S/S of Malaria.

The Moxi is in the combat pill packs as part of Tactical Combat Casualty Care. So it is the choice for GSW, blast injury, or other penetrating trauma.

thats bizarre. I've seen moxi used for some skin infections and even abdominal infections in some cases, but rarely, its generally reserved for infections of the respiratory tract. its weird too because i can't find any evidence of using cipro for malaria though i can see how it would have potential. but whatever works.

All of the ranch stores around here carry injectable anti biotics, syringes, and needles.

OK, I ordered the book and a few antibiotics from this guy on ebay. It shows the pills and has the expiration dates. http://www.ebay.com/itm/260744324696...84.m1439.l2649

I would say that Fish antibiotics along with this book that pharmacists and Doctors use for dosages would be a good starting point. My sister is in the late stages (year 5 or 6) of becoming a pharmacist and she says besides the 100 pound book that she normally would look things up in, the below book has good info in it.

Very cool!

I read somewhere that many antibiotics have a shelf life and all they do is just loose potency.

However I read a few instead become poisonous as they expire. Anyone care to chime in here?

They were not expired yet. He just gave the info which was good to know.

I know. I'm speaking from a perspective on having some stock on hand... some are dangerous when expired, and some just loose potency. Thought it would be good info when storing some for a rainy day.

I looked up a couple antibiotics that are also used for fish and/or livestock.

This is from http://www.drugs.com/doxycycline.html

"Store doxycycline at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date on the label has passed. Using expired doxycycline can cause damage to your kidneys."

don't use tetracycline or doxycycline past the expiration date. most others are for the most part ok but i still wouldn't use them past the date unless its a world wide collapse and you truly can't get any more.

It can cause kidney damage any time. I am unable to use this and other meds due to adverse reactions.

Regarding ANY Anti-Biotic. Know what you can take, your body can tolerate and IF you have an issue, what is the fall back med you are able to take.
