for overseas, definitely. but with US to US, yes it's more expensive but there aren't too many hiccups. yes, I'd rather spend than deal with stress too. stress usually ends up costing me more in other parts of my life.It’s really about how much money you have to spend. You can probably stockpile most anything if you have resources to purchase enough (and aren’t way over imbibing.
@CoralSpringsPete Damn - that would stress me out completely to be reordering every month with my back to the wall.
I have Tramadol that are ten years old that I've used and they were maybe a little less potent but still worked. I'm not sure how it works for all medications but I believe they begin to lose potency over time. I wonder if they only put expiration dates on there because they have to, not because the medication simply won't work. In our house, we rarely throw out old medications, especially if was one that required a prescription. We even have leftover Zofran that my wife used to treat her morning sickness from her last pregnancy which was 11 years ago. She recently had to use one and it worked. I know this is just anecdotal but hopefully it helps.
I've always believed that the expiry date was a myth myself. (Just another way to rake in some extra dough maybe?) I'm old enough to remember them not even being on an rx bottle! And, yeah I don't throw anything away either...
Thankfully I've never had to take it but from watching my wife's experience up close and personal I can tell that it made a huge difference to her health and the baby's. It must be really tough when your body is directing all it's nutrients into growing the little fetus and you just cant keep anything down to nourish yourself. She would be both starving and too sick to eat at the same time. Three pregnancies and it was the same story every time so we did end up with several bottles of leftover Zofran.
