In reply to Donating unused meds?, posted by Greg on July 30, 2001, at 13:02:18
Here is what I did: I called my doctor and asked him if he knew who might want/need them. He told me to bring them to his office and he would give them to patients who could not afford the meds. That way, I was relieved of any liability, and the doctor had all of the needy patients imaginable.

> I have a large collection of unsuccessful meds in my medicine cabinet (as I'm sure many of you do too). I hate to throw them away (I'm a pack rat). All of the expirations are still good. I was wondering if any of you know of somewhere I might donate them? I know that there are many who have trouble affording their meds and I hoping they might come in handy to someone. Maybe the Red Cross or some medical institution? Any ideas?
