Leftover IVF medication

I have leftover IVF medication. Still within dates. Would love to donate to someone. I know in theory I should find ways to securely dispose them but given how much money has been spent on it I really don't want it to go to waste.

You should not give away prescription drugs, normally you take them back to your clinic and they will use them for teaching or you can take them to your local chemist and they will dispose of them for you.

It’s illegal and you don’t know if the person you are giving them to is genuine. They could sell them on for profit to take advantage of someone else. Conversely the person receiving them could be attempting a DIY IVF cycle without any medical monitoring which is obviously dangerous. I know your intentions are good but there a reasons why you aren’t allowed to give away medication

You posted about this before

And you were told it would be reckless and irresponsible

Also… if I recall correctly, transpired you’d got a huge amount leftover which posters co closed you must have bought off someone rather than a clinic

@Othersnotsomuch - I think you are mistakenly thinking I am someone else. I bought it on prescription from pharmacy and am pregnant currently so unlikely to be able to use them myself before they expire.

Let them expire
you can’t donate (or resell)
