Medical Disclaimer

PrepPick is not medical advice. Content about first aid, trauma kits, telehealth prescriptions, supplements, herbal remedies, potassium iodide and medical books is general information for emergency preparedness only.

• In an emergency, call 911.
• Prescription medicines require a licensed clinician. Telehealth kits are for when normal care isn't available, not a substitute for your doctor.
• Supplements and herbal products are not evaluated by the FDA to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Ask your doctor about interactions, especially if you are pregnant, nursing or take medication.
• Never use veterinary products on people, and never drink chlorine dioxide.
• Take potassium iodide only when public health or emergency officials tell you to.
• Tourniquets and trauma gear work best with training. Take a Stop the Bleed class.
