[QUOTE="Johnjosiah, post: 2354012, member: 8177"] Good advise from tRidiot. I would start cheap and work up. A lot can be had from feed store or pet store...be careful though there a couple of bovine antibiotics that are lethal to humans even in micro doses. Fish antibiotics are not that cheap if you want human type doses but at least available over the counter. There are quite a few antibiotics on the $4 list at WM/CVS/Walgreens etc...You could always ask your doctor to give you a rx with your regular visit some would some wouldn't. Just don't expect them to commit insurance fraud by providing a fake diagnosis. If you just wanted a rx to take to the pharmacy and pay cash they might help you out. My list would be: Penicillin - Amoxicillin 500mg is my choice most infections can be dosed twice a day. Adults will need 4 pills a day for 7-10 days. Caps could hypothetically be taken apart to customize doses. Cephalosporin - Keflex/cephalexin is the only cheap one. Again it will require 4 pills a day for 7-10 days. I would probably only bother with it if there was a penicillin allergy I needed to worry about otherwise Amox is at least is good. The newer ones are really expensive to just have on hand. Sulpha - Bactrim or Septra or TMP/SMX - All the same - 1 pill two times a day in most cases...good for skin, respiratory, urinary and GI infections. Ciprofloxin - 1 pill twice a day - Good for urinary and GI illness. Sometimes effective with respiratory and skin infections but reliability is questionable. Doxycycline - Nice old antibiotic can be used for respiratory, GI, urinary, genital and skin infections. Also, one of the few antibiotics effective against Rocky Mountain Spotted fever and Lymes Disease. Actually has some decreased resistance lately in some areas. For some infections it used for a few weeks. Metronidazole or Flagyl - Good for GI illness and some anaerobic illness. Also, effective against some parasites like giardia. I would also include an anti worm med like albendazole. some countries use ivermectin but it is NOT approved in the US except through the CDC. A couple courses of these would put most of us way ahead of the game...maybe next year for me. There are some others I would get if $$$ is not a factor. Amoxicillin, keflex, bactrim and cipro are all on the $4 list. PS: This is for informational use only. This is not personal medical advise. You need to see your doctor before starting any medication.
