Emergency Meds: How YOU Can Use Veterinary Drugs In A Crisis

Many missionaries confronted with staggering levels of infection, disease and illness have pioneered the use of veterinarian medicines to treat human illness and injury. Some have written books outlining the ways they have converted dosages and identifying names of veterinarian medicines that cross over to human conditions.

WHERE TO FIND VET MEDS

Resources for these medicines can be found in various livestock and veterinarian catalogs, with clearly identify dosage and sometimes the same pharmaceutical name as its human counterpart. Cal-Vet Supply (link below) is a good place to start. At companies like these you will see amoxicillin referred to as amoxicillin, tetracycline referred to as tetracycline etc. (Anon note: feed store or pet supply)

Surprisingly Cost-Effective Solution

You’ll also find the prices to average about 10 percent of what you would pay for a human dosage, and the medicines are often offered in bulk or large quantities given the size and population of animals on many farms. Even if you’re hesitant to consider veterinarian meds for human use (and you should be), there are surprisingly cost-effective solutions, like a dozen tubes of triple antibiotic topical ointment for $10 that are perfectly safe for human use. In fact, it’s the exact same product from an ingredient and dosage standpoint at a fraction of the cost of Neomycin.

However, USP-approved animal pharmaceuticals are often made in the same manufacturing plants as human pharmaceuticals and will contain the same ingredients.

What to Look for

A critical fact to remember is that the pill shape, color and any number coding on pharmaceuticals are identical for both human and animal consumption. This coding is referred to as the USP Verified Pharmaceutical Ingredient Mark. This is so a hospital or doctor can identify a veterinary pill that may have been ingested accidentally. In this instance, the ingestion of the veterinary med is intentional and the consistent use of the number identification and the type of pharmaceutical can be confirmed at Drugs.com. Other resources like this include WebMD and RxList.com.

This is significant because it proves that the veterinary medicines are in fact identical. If you see an animal drug that is labeled, “UPS Pharmaceutical grade Amoxicillin,” you can be assured it is the exact same pharmaceutical grade amoxicillin that your doctor would prescribe to you for various infections.

Common Conditions and Their Treatment

Perhaps the most common afflictions treated with pharmaceuticals are related to fighting significant bacterial infections. The common prescriptions for infections include penicillin, amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin (cipro) and cephalexin. Each has strengths that are sometimes unique to a condition or infection and some crossover to treat the same kinds of conditions. Penicillin – this is for the treatment of many types of infections caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia, ear infections, septicemia, urinary tract infections, meningitis, intra-abdominal infection, gonorrhea, syphilis, respiratory infections, ear, nose and throat infections, skin and soft tissue infections.
