[QUOTE="ratski, post: 2605436, member: 936"] I agree that preventative is best, but there are also circumstances that are beyond our control. As to the expiration date on meds. This discussion has gone on in several threads. For the most part, meds do not expire when that date on the package rolls around. That is a "best by" date, not a "stops working immediately after" date. The date on medicines is that date at which the med company will guarantee the medicine is at 100% effectiveness. Most meds are good for years after the date on the package. As to stocking and rotating.... One of the things that I have tried to do over the years is to get to where I have about a 3 month supply of my medications stocked. I rotate them as I get the next prescription. Of course, that being said, all of the meds that I take by prescription are medications of convenience, not life sustaining. Dave [/QUOTE]
