Mesalamine enemas i no longer need


Mon, October 19, 2020 12:58 AM

Hello. I have quite a number of 60 ml mesoamine rectal enemas, 4 grams per 60 ml, that I dont need. I have about a hundred that expire in October 2020, and about a hundred that expire in October 2021. Does anyone know how I could get these to someone who needs them? They can be quite expensive. I live in North Carolina.

Hi there Astute, It's actually bizzare that your post was the first thing I saw on the website and has caused me to register.  I'm running out of my mesalamine, I have about a week's worth left and thought I might as well give it a shot and respond.  Since I've had to switch my insurance, I will mostlikely not have my medicine for a good while.  It's a bit overwhelming, because I can feel early signs of a flare coming, but I also joined this forum to find easier alternatives.  I'm hoping that you still have the mesalamine available to donate, if you do, please contact me. :)
