If anyone has used Tindamax and no longer uses it but has left-over supply, what do you typically do with it? Please PM me.

Metallic..not sure what your insurance is, but if it is a MA company, you may be able to get your LLMD to sign a waiver or other form dictating this medicine is a must have.

People can message me to let me know how they "get rid" of their extra medications.

Just a harmless curiosity.

It's illegal to distribute prescription drugs to anyone other then who it is prescibed for.

Federal and State Drug Laws
Prescription drugs are considered "controlled substances." The federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act makes it clear that the only legal way to access prescription drugs is to have a doctor's prescription. An excerpt:
...No controlled substance in schedule II, which is a prescription drug as determined under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), may be dispensed without the written prescription of a practitioner.

We're all well aware of that.

Give them to your pharmacy, they know what to do with them. [Smile]

I had three bottles of Doxycycline I gave back to mine.

I usually just flush old pills down the toilet...

Because of medications showing up in water, they're asking people not to do that anymore.
