I use this medication and yes it is very expensive. If you have it yet I would love to take it off your hands.

Thank you for your willingness to help others who might need the medication.
 Each state has established State Prescription Drug Return, Reuse and Recycling Laws.   To learn more about donation options in your state visit: http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/state-prescription-drug-return-reuse-and-recycling.aspx
 
There are a number of options for donating medication.   First I would like to remind you that in the USA it is against the law to distribute medication to other then the person for whom it was prescribed.
 

  • The first option for donating RX would be to contact the prescribing health care provider to see if they will take the unopened medication.
  • Each state has established State Prescription Drug Return, Reuse and Recycling Laws.  
  • Finally there are likely a number of international organizations that may benefit from donated medications

I am in Minnesota. 
Maybe this wouldn't work so well!
