Donated Meds?

Dana_Lynn · 07-01-2009, 08:14 AM

Hi F.P.s (Fertility Pals),

I've asked my clinic for donated medication. I was told that this is something they used to do but have stopped. It was explained to me that:
1) It has become illegal for them to give away these medications; and
2) The clinic would be held accountable for the functioning/quality of the medication donated.

I am new to IVF. Have others noticed a change in clinic policies?

Thanks!

When I was discussing what to do with my leftover medicine..she suggested I give it back to them so they could give it to patients...now,my nurse is new...but she seemed to think it was fine!

The clinic I go to has a sign on the exam room door that asks us to dontate our unused meds to patients who may not have insurance coverage.

He's here!He has Asperger's Syndrome and we wouldn't want him any other way than he is!! Hoping a decade later for another miracle. Gave EVERYTHING a rest for a while. Decided we were good as is for a year. Got accepted into IVF clinical study at RE and couldn't resist one more go of it.
