Not an answer to your question but I wanted to put out a caution….
In a “One Second After” situation, you may want to find alternatives such as herbal remedies. There are many herbs that can be used in place of antibacterials, anti inflammatory, antiviral, anti fungal, anti hypertensive, etc. and can be prepared for a long shelf life.
Many prescriptions don’t have a long shelf life and can become unstable.
I realize this recommendation will not be well received by all but I wanted you to be aware that there are alternatives.

I too had black soldier flies by accident. I had made a tumble composter, added all my food scraps to the tumbler on a regular basis but being a hand made tumbler it didn’t turn so easily so it didn’t get turned very often. The scraps were very wet and the flies appeared.
I didn’t have chickens and knew almost nothing about composting at the time. Thought I might try it again now that I have chickens.

I found a ringworm on my dog. Made a tea with thyme and applied it twice a day for three days and the ringworm was gone. I had actually read about it for human use but thought why not try it on the dog. It worked 😃

Comfrey is sometimes called boneset but they are actually two different plants.
Comfrey, symphtum officials, has historically been used as a vulinary for asthma, cold, whooping cough, & expectorant; poultice are made for abscess, bruises, hemorrhage, hemorrhoids, broken bones, and sprains. Lore suggests placing comfrey in ones shoe to ensure safe travels.😆
Boneset, eupatorium perfoliatum, has historically been used to treat influenza, reducing fever, inducing perspiration, can be an emetic inducing vomiting if poisoned and a laxative.
I’ve read that boneset received its common name because it was used in pioneer days to relieve the excruciating bone pain caused by the flu.
