Thanks for the info Raven!

I agree with you about hoarding meds by the untrained. It seems to be an opportunity to become seriously ill by spoiled/expired drugs.

I try to keep an extra week of my prescription meds (rotated each month when I renew). It's only to cover me if I forget to pick them up, get hit by the annual Dallas-Ft. Worth ice storm or the pharmacy supplies have run out. Each month I set aside a few extra tablets in order to build up a two-week reserve.
