Infertility

Leftover Meds

What do you do with the leftover meds?  The pharmacy won't take them back.  menopur, estrace, vivelle, prog supp., follistim, cetratide.  Any suggestions?

Re: Leftover Meds

  • There is an OOP Meds group here where people can donate their leftover meds to other women who need them. Just page "OOP Meds Coordinator" and she'll help.

    If you aren't comfortable with that, your RE might be able to pass them onto another one of their patients.

    Six years of infertility and loss, four IUIs, one IVF and one very awesome little boy born via med-free birth 10.24.13.

  • I know my clinic takes donations of unused, unopened vials of stuff.  They give them out to the girls who just need one more of something when it doesn't justify purchasing a whole refill. I'd talk to a nurse at your clinic and see if they have a program like that.

    There's also a thread on here somewhere called "Med Donation" (or something like that) where you can donate your extras to someone on here who could use them. Check out that thread for more info.
