**doxycycline can become toxic after expiration**

The Duration Health Medical Kit comes with prescription medications for disaster and SHTF scenarios where access to normal healthcare is not available. This kit is perfect for travelers, preppers, and explorers in the back country.

As a pharmacist your videos about medications are always a must watch! The fact that these kits are customizable and have an actual physician consultation is great.

I wish we had this model up in Canada. Not only do we have a huge outdoors and rural population, but I’m also a pharmacist and having these types of things would be lifesaving in tactical, backcountry or disaster. Amazing content!

Finally a comprehensive kit.

So many others only do 4 or 5 drugs. This one can cover just about every base needed

Pretty sure doxycycline is one of the rare meds that becomes toxic after it expires, might be a good thing to mention.

Being an organ transplant recipient myself, emergency medication supplies and a enacting some sort of maintenance plan in such a scenario has always been a pretty relevant top priority for me. Unfortunately this doesn't seem like any kind of solution that could work for me, but it's a good idea in the right direction nonetheless. It also reminds me that I need to replace and/or update a few items in a couple of my kits, meds included. Any kind of SHTF situation would be just that much more difficult and life threatening to someone like me due to the nature of my condition and the regular physiological checks that are required to maintain an effective medication dosage, and the daily doses of immunosuppressant drugs required to keep the body from attacking the grafted organ. Any extended period without medication would all but assure a slow and agonizing death, so maintaining a supply would be a constant effort/concern. I guess I can only hope and pray that things never devolve to such a point, but it is a thought that remains consistently tucked away in the back of my mind nonetheless.

That is an outstanding kit! There are a lot of people like Corpsmen, IDCs, Medics, Paramedics and so on that have a lot of training and knowledge to use these medications appropriate if needed. It was very difficult to obtain these types of RX. This really fills that gap. It's definitely a new Christmas list item.

As a pharmacist, i think this is honestly a good list, but i have to add that for any eye/ear drop, you want to get an eye drop formulation if possible. Eye drops are formulated to be very gentle so that it wont irritate the eye but will be effecitve enough to be used in the ear, but ear drops are not formulated to be gentle enough to be used in the eyes

CA, NV, AZ, NM, and Mexico also have many case of Hantavirus 🖖

Excellent information! I would also add that medications in “capsule” form break down (expire) faster than medication in a tablet form. I also recommend keeping a small log of medications you have, their acquired date and the expiration date for each. I know they will be on the bottles but this will serve as a quick reference guide.

Excellent topic. This is one of the areas where it can be difficult to be prepared if you don’t know a good doc who is willing to work with you.

[LanceHanan]

I like the fact that you open some of the dressings etc. You also go into some of the more advanced items.

I got the Jase case not too long ago so I’m glad I found this video to further explain the medications and their uses. Very valuable content. Thank you 🙏

After reading the book 'one second after', I believe those meds will get you as far as helping who is left prepare gardens, wood stoves, smokehouses, etc. After that if you don't have books on herbal medicine and holistic treatments, you are not going to make it 6mo for serious ailments or two years with moderate ones.

I was a greenside "DOC". I remember having to sneak into clinics to "borrow" these meds just to treat Marines because we didnt get shit issued to us before we hit field ops outside CONUS. Great video.

[evansaw]

Dude! You drop vids right as Im thinking about the subject. This and the IFAK vid were crazy relevant.

[prawnsolo]

Hey Brother. Similar situation with my wife, due to hashimoto's disease. Many hours of research trying to find a way to manage it without medication for SHTF situations and increase independence. Dr. Eric Berg and Dr. Ken Berry have had great results with Keto/Carnivore diets. Might not be for everyone, but it’s been working for us for three years. Proven by lab work. Good luck “living a better life, if times get tough or even if they don't”

Great video and kit! Resistance to antibiotics is no joke. Estimates suggest resistant infections may top 10 million per year by 2050 worldwide 😬

[ArabellaTales]

They need a company that make emergency dog medications.

I'm not a prepper or anything, I just ask my reg dr to order me the basics when I travel. He won't do any heavy pain meds, but this website doesn't either. Looking at the prices on that website...other then paying $$$ for a container..it's not worth it. When I price it out using just any "cash and carry" RX plan...a $450 kit...would cost be about $68 for the meds (I ended up getting a month supply for most items then smaller amount. So $375 for a case, a generic book, and "medical" support for questions... If needed, I just use the local pharmacy when overseas..

This kit has a lot of redundancies. Dexamethasone and Prednisolone are pretty interchangeable. As far as antibiotics Co-Amixiclaе, Doxycycline are the ones you need. Azithromycin covers a lot of the same things as Doxy, but Doxy is better for the weird and wonderful bugs you will meet on an expedition. You also need something against intestinal parasites and protozoa like Albenazole and Metronidazole respectively. (Metro is good for infected penetrating wound in a combo with the Co-Amox). And the main problem of this kit is the stupid bottles, blister packs will make it fit a belt pouch.
