Emergency Preparedness: Managing Medical Supplies

We never know when emergencies will occur which is why it is always necessary to prepare for them. Marra’s Pharma Corp DBA Marra’s Pharmacy, your community pharmacy in Cohoes, New York, knows a few ways to manage your medical supplies as part of emergency preparedness.

Here are some of them:

• Label and organize
  To easily find your medical supplies in emergencies, label them one by one. Categorize them afterward so you can place similar supplies based on their functions in one storage. Doing this will save you time in searching for them, especially when emergencies require an abrupt response. Place them where they can be easily accessible to you, but away from children’s reach.
• Protect the supplies
  To do this, remove them from their original containers and transfer them to durable and transparent ones. Visit our pharmacy to purchase them because we have a variety of container options.
• Get to know their uses or functions
  There are medical supplies that were never used because no one knew their functions. Doing your research before purchasing them will help you put them into proper use. Let us not also eliminate the fact that there are supplies that you shouldn’t open unless you need to use them during that instant because doing so would reduce their sterility. If you’re having difficulty choosing the medical supplies you’ll need the most during emergencies, you can visit our independent pharmacy.

Entrust to us the medications and medical supplies you need and avail of our adherence packaging/ pill packing in Cohoes, New York to allow our pharmacists to place your pills in individual packets so you can carry them anywhere conveniently. Contact us to get started!
