 Anyone know of a program where unopened medication can go to people who can't afford to buy it? I have an unopened botttle of 200mg Votrient a months supply and almost a full month of Lovenox blood thinning syringes. I was taking that 2x a day. I had to change from Votrient to Caboo. And from Lovenox to another blood thinner. Lovenox made my Liver go crazy. 

 

I would hate to see them go to waste. I don't want any money for them. It would be great just to help someone out.

    Most communities have a medical office or clinic called community care clinic. These offices are for those with out insurance they are treated free of charge. They may can take your meds. I worked in a physician's office years ago when drug companies would leave tons of samples I would box them up and take them to our free clinic. That is very kind of you. Your primary physician or pharmacy may be able to point you in the right direction.
