Yet another critical item that needs to be monitored:


We started noticing this last year and took the precaution of ordering a full year's emergency supply of both our prescription medications as well as antibiotics from Jase Medical. We vacuum-sealed them and stored them in a temperature controlled environment. Realistically, all of them should last several years beyond their expiration date, and if we get to the point that we need to rotate them, we can start using the stored meds daily and stockpile the new meds we're getting each month.

Several hoops to jump through to verify your identity and your prescription, and it wasn't cheap paying for a full year at once, but all worth it in my opinion.

Personally don't have any prescription drug requirements , but very clever on your part. Amazed they allow such quantities in bulk . 👍🤝
 
Drugs do have a shelf life, some becoming ineffective or dangerous after time.
Yes, but tablets have the longest shelf life. We researched all of our meds, and none of them will turn dangerous, they will just slowly lose effectiveness after a few years.
 
Tablets usually last years past their expiration date. Inhalers, unfortunately, rarely make it more than a year past it before they stop working. Kind of sucks for us asthmatics....
