Other medical supplies
Besides the prescription medication that you need regularly, don’t disregard other medical supplies you might require, such as contact lenses, contact solution, hearing-aid batteries, and over-the-counter medicines like pain relievers and cold medicines.
Moreover, if you or someone else in your household needs a hearing aid, the American Red Cross recommends stocking up on extra batteries.
You should also take note of over-the-counter medicines such as stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, vitamins, and fluids that contain electrolytes, according to the American Red Cross. You never know when you might need them!
When it comes to the face masks that everyone’s struggling to get a grab on, the CDC advises the general public to skip them. They’re only effective for people in an area experiencing an outbreak, healthcare workers treating coronavirus patients, and those with flu-like symptoms.
