(HealthDayNews) -- Sometimes emergency situations, such as power failures or extreme weather conditions, can limit your access to medications.
The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists offers this advice:
- Keep a list of your medications in your wallet.
- Maintain a minimum three-day supply at home.
- Refill prescriptions a week before your current supply is gone.
- If needed, wear a medical-alert bracelet, especially if you have diabetes, Alzheimer's disease or an implantable cardiac defibrillator.
