Donated meds

I have not yet gone through and injectible cycle so forgive me if this is a silly question. Is it risky to accept donated meds that have already been punctured? I never thought about it until now.

    I don't know much about this, but the donated meds that I received through my clinic were unopened.

    If I knew who they were coming from and they could tell me exactly when they first used it and how it had been stored, and I was getting it from them in person, I'd be ok with it. I probably wouldn't take anything through the mail. Too many unknown variables.

    It's an interesting question. I am not sure I would accept meds that are already opened, but yet I have a pierced Follistim cartridge that I am going to throw away because I can't give it to anyone.

    I guess it depends on who it is from and how you know them. A perfect stranger? No. Someone from this board that I saw just finish a cycle, probably so.

    I was actually wondering the same thing. I have an opend vile from someone I know but it's been open for almost 60 days? Would you all still use it?
