A 14-day medication buffer, refrigerated medicines and a simple first-aid kit.
Guide · 1 min read
Ask your doctor or pharmacist about holding a 14-day buffer of regular medicines. Never ration or share prescription medicines on your own. This guide is general education, not medical advice.

Do now
- Write a list of every regular medicine, dose, and the doctor who prescribed it. Keep a paper copy and a phone photo.
- Refill early so you always hold about 14 days extra, where rules allow.
- Make a first-aid kit: bandages, dressings, antiseptic, tape, gloves, thermometer, oral rehydration sachets, tweezers and a printed guide.
Do within 15 minutes
- Medicines that need a fridge (for example insulin): move them to a cool bag with ice packs and check the label for how long they can stay out.
- Keep power-dependent medical devices charged and know their battery life.
Do in the first day
- Take medicines at the usual times. If a medicine has been too hot or too cold, ask a pharmacist or doctor before using it.
- For fever, diarrhoea or vomiting, give small sips of oral rehydration solution and seek care if it does not settle.
Do daily
- Check expiry dates every three months.
- Know your nearest hospital or clinic that stays open in an emergency and a second route to reach it.
