Unused needles?

5 replies

I have recently been an egg donor for my sister. I have ended up with hundreds of unused individually wrapped needless for a Gonal-F pen as each pen came with 20. Has anyone found a charity or project that would take these? All I can seem to find online is ways of disposing of them. It seems such a waste.

No where will take dispensed medications or needles in case they've been tampered with. Just need disposing of safely

A pharmacy should be able to take them for you, or your GP.

I sent mine to intercare. When I called them they suggested doing this through my GP surgery if possible, but as my surgery isn’t partnered with them, they allowed me to send them the items directly. I had to pay postage, but thought it was worth it for a good cause.

Thanks Scones for asking and Earl for answering!
I have loads of these, low AMH, high doses of Gonal F, so would be very happy to pay postage if they could be of use.
