hi there. Whilst that is a really generous offer, standard policy over here is you never give meds to anyone else. You could maybe hand it to either a pharmacist, consultant or team, for them to deal with. Bruddery

Maybe ask people to private message you.

I believe that in the UK, any medication that is handed back is destroyed even if it's still sealed. So makes sense to give it to someone who would normally have to pay for it.

I asked my pharmacy about this, reused medication makes big pharmacy nothing.

I think you should hand it back to your doc or pharmacist, you may send it to someone and they might have a bad reaction to it or it could get in to the wrong hands. It’s a generous gesture though.

Not sure how someone in same meds would have a reation

[ainslie in reply to ciye]

thats assuming at best they have been prescribed the same meds, whats the proof, and even then these kind of meds should not be handed between patients or non patients, it should come via doc and pharmacist, NO 1 rule in medicine is do no harm, also if one has to buy Hydroxy its pennies these days anyway, thats maybe why the NHS like it

He is on a site where people are on specific meds, he is not just offering meds Willy nilly. I thankfully I don't pay for my meds.... Not all are so fortunate, l met up and gave my interferon to another member I did send pics and kept the boxes in cool bag that saved £1000 of meds going up in smoke.

[ainslie in reply to ciye]

well, everyone to their own but it appears to be illegal to do so, according to google

"According to the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority (MHRA), anybody who supplies prescription drugs to someone who it is not intended for, is breaking the law.13 Jan 2017"

Hopefully someone will privately message you. It's a shame medication ever goes to waste....

[Otterfield]

It is definitely illegal in the UK and, I assume, many other countries. You should check the law in Indonesia - the consequences of supplying pharmaceuticals illegally could be very serious.

Thank you to all your replied.

As I knew here, it is ok to give meds to other who need, as long as I am not ask for return.

Of course, who receive the meds, should inform to his / her doc..

Cheers
