My Mum died recently (very peacefully, and aged 101) and we have a lot of unopened and unused in-date medicines. Quite a while ago I knew of a charity that would take them and they could be sent to countries where there was a shortage.
But I think now that you are no longer allowed to donate them this way but have to take them back to a pharmacy where they will be thrown away. I've done some searches, but the only charities still doing this seem to be in the US (I am in the UK).
I hate the waste involved, and was hoping one of the grans on here might know of some way they could be re-used.
Our Welfare State. Is it broken?
