Re: Unused Meds - what do you do?

PRealm, I am like you - I purge them often. Within the past couple of years, between all the changes in blood pressure and diabetes meds my husband has been changed off/on, I regularly do a "clean out". However, this is different - You and I both know that there are people (Like the nursing home - i keep coming back to that) who could use them...Like the time my husband got 50cc insulin syringes, 200 of them, and then had to go with 100cc. I went out and asked, and the woman at the nursing home wouldn't take them! They were not only still boxed, but each individual syringe was plastic-sealed as well. Same thing when he changed from Zantac to Nexuim. I had about 100 fresh Zantacs. It's just too bad that, what with so many of us in this country struggling so hard to provide ourselves health and prescription care, we can't help others when we find ourselves with something we can't use. Of course, I do understand why - there are nuts out there who would or COULD contaminate a product, and for an agency to test products the cost would be so high, plus it is against the law to dispense your rx to another person, but still..... I take so much stuff to the nursing home (NOT meds), guess I'm still disappointed that they weren't even interested enough to say "Thanks for thinking of us".
