Questions
EPFK — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Emergency Pharmacy Field Kit (EPFK)?
The EPFK is a physician-directed emergency prescription medication kit from Austere Medicine Consultants. It contains prescription antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and emergency medications — plus a color-coded field manual — dispensed only after a licensed provider reviews your medical intake and determines what is clinically appropriate for you.
Is a prescription guaranteed when I buy the kit?
No. Payment never guarantees a prescription. A licensed medical provider reviews your intake and prescribes only what is clinically appropriate for your health profile. If part of the kit is not appropriate, an alternate may be substituted or your charge is adjusted; if the kit is not appropriate at all, your card authorization is released and you are not charged.
How does payment work?
When you order, an authorization hold is placed on your card — you are not charged at checkout. After a licensed provider completes your medical review, the authorized amount is captured in full, adjusted to match what was actually prescribed, or released entirely if the kit is not appropriate for you. Release and refund timing on your statement depends on your card issuer.
How much will the EPFK cost?
The EPFK will retail for $550, or $690 with the Condition 1 case. Consultation and prescription fees are included in the purchase price — there are no separate telehealth or pharmacy review charges.
Who performs the medical evaluation?
All clinical evaluation and prescribing is performed exclusively by licensed clinicians through AMC Medicine LTD, a physician-owned medical practice. Prescriptions are issued by licensed providers in your state of residence, in your name. Austere Medicine Consultants handles the non-clinical side: product design, logistics, and operations.
How is the EPFK different from a first-aid kit or an urgent care kit?
A standard first-aid kit contains bandages and over-the-counter items. Emergency medication kits sold as "urgent care kits" vary widely in contents and clinical process. The EPFK is built around personally prescribed medications: a licensed provider reviews your health history first, every prescription is issued in your name, and the kit includes field protocols developed with military medics and field physicians for use when professional care is hours or days away.
When will the EPFK be available?
The EPFK is expected to launch by October 1, 2026, and at launch it will be available to adult residents of all 50 states. Join the launch list to be notified the moment ordering opens.
Does joining the launch list cost anything or reserve a kit?
No. Joining the launch list is free, requires no payment information, and creates no commitment. It does not reserve inventory — it simply means you are notified first when EPFK ordering opens, before public announcement.
