Ibrutinib saving

When it was first approved by the medical system to pay for my ibrutinib, I had just bought a new bottle. Between that and the fact that I have cut from 3 pills a day to 2 to try to reduce side effects, I have a surplus.

These are 90 pill bottles of 140 mg ibrutinib tablets that have never been opened. As I was paying $US11,800 per bottle before the medical system provided them, it deeply offends my Scottish heritage to throw them away. If anyone is feeling the pinch of the high cost and could make use to two new bottles they are yours if you can tell me how to get them to you from Costa Rica.

Cheers - Dan

Given it's illegal to even give away prescription drugs in most places, I hope for a good outcome. This post covers the situation in the US, including references to charities which can legally accept donations: healthunlocked.com/cllsuppo...

I gave my unused Ibrutinib pills to my hematologist/oncologist whom I'm sure gave them to a patient in need of them.
