Best Drugs to Stock in a Prepper Home Pharmacy

A well-stocked prepper home pharmacy ensures that you will not need to run out to the store to purchase a medication when you are feeling under the weather or when it may not be safe to venture out.

Consult your medical provider to determine exactly what medications you should keep in your prepper medicine cabinet.

What are the best medications to include in a well-stocked prepper home pharmacy? The best drugs to stock in your prepper medicine cabinet include a combination of over-the-counter and prescription meds. You should include pain relievers, antihistamines, anti-diarrheal, antiemetic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and allergy medications. Be sure to include any prescription drugs that you are taking.

In this video, we share 15 over-the-counter medications that we stock in our little home pharmacy. We discuss the considerations in designing your home pharmacy as well as discuss stocking prescription medication, antibiotics, and a few specialty meds that may interest you.

Please note the following update:

In late 2019, Zantac was found to have a contaminant at levels slightly higher than naturally found in foods. It is NDMA, a nitrosamine compound that has been associated with some cancers. All Zantac was pulled from shelves and to my knowledge has not returned.

Here is the FDA announcement

Risk is probably very low but medical providers are using Pepcid (famotidine) in place of the Zantac (ranitidine).
