Donations

[luluc]

Does anyone have any information on where a person can donate unused meds? Can't seem to find anyone willing to accept them. Something about the laws,everywhere we ask.

I gave the Iressa back to our oncologist and told him he could use them if he encountered a patient without insurance for whom they might be good. I tried to take them to the pharmacy and he wouldn't take them. And, to be sure, the oncologist may have just chucked them. I can understand that the liability would be incredible and people just not wanting to take it. The other medicines were all pretty cheap and so I just disposed of them. My understanding of the law is that they cannot be sold, but you may be able to give them away.

Hope that is at least a little help.

Lulu,

Check with Norme, she had Iressa left from her husband Buddy.

I think she gave the Iressa to their Onc. to give to someone who

could not afford to buy the meds. Good luck, hope you get more suggestions and answers...

Blessings,

Karen

Our onc. said we could give him the Iressa and he would give it to someone who did not have drug coverage.

I did give the iressa to the onc and hopefully he was able to give it to someone who needed it. As for the other meds, we have an orig called St Vincent De Paul and they accepted some other meds for their pharmacy of free meds to the underprivileged.
