Amoxicillin-Clavulanate was tested to 5 years in that study. From your link:

expiration date chief said that with a handful of exception notably nitroglycerin, Insulin and Liquid antibiotic most drugs are probably as durable as the agency tested.

It has been reported that bioavailability of EpiPen® (epinephrine auto-injectors) were reduced when administered between 1 to 90 months after the labelled expiration date compared with those that were not yet expired

So between 19 and 109 months my EpiPen might not work. Playing Russian roulette during a severe allergic reaction sounds like a lot of fun.

everything else you said is just more speculation

lol

I dont expect people with severe allergies and diabetus to survive.

90% of medications last 10-15 years. Most people dont need daily medications. Most medicines can be stock piled. Medicines would be highly valueable in a barter system.

Most people need antibiotics and those last 5 years at most.

They can also be stolen at gunpoint from the soft-bodied techie that crawls out of his luxury bunker.

One soft-bodied techie clumsily wielding his mall-ninja AR-15 against an armed squad of ex-Reservist marauders. Sounds like a good matchup.

Most people need antibiotics

What? Modern antibiotics and their overuse is at most a 100 year old phenomenon. Also:

Ongoing research states that if the right storage conditions are met, medications – including antibiotics can retain 90% of their potency for up to as much as 15 years after expiration. https://prescriptionhope.com/blog-can-you-take-expired-antibiotics

...antibiotics are the most useful medication to stockpile. What medications did you have in mind?

Ongoing research states that if the right storage conditions are met, medications – including antibiotics can retain 90% of their potency for up to as much as 15 years after expiration.

It's saying that they measured up to 15 years for some of those medications. Also from your link:

90% of the potency and efficacy of antibiotics can be retained 5 years from the expiration date if stored correctly.
