Remaining meds and supplements

Hei

my husband passed away from pancreatic cancer around Xmas. He left a lot of unopened medicines and nutrient supplements. How can I get the to people rather than just throwing them away 

  • Hi Borgie,

    My condolences on the loss of your husband. 

    It's not advised that you pass unused medication and nutritional supplements to other patients for their use due to health and safety guidelines. I know it's a waste of money etc but only medication prescribed by a GP or hospital and provided by a pharmacy should be used by a patient. The pharmacy that provides your husband's medication should accept it back and they will then destroy it. 

    Take care,

    Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient and pancreatitis patient)
