Our family has health issues that have required us to try different medications and we are allergic to so much of it. Some of it we only took two or three pills. Then there were times that the pharmacy somehow filled that prescription again on accident and we unknowingly picked it up with our other meds. When you have 25-30 different meds, it's easy for this to happen! We have very reasonable co-pays, so you never notice a few dollars here and there. The pharmacy can't take them back and we can't use them. I'm hoping someone might know of some organization-- or something-- where I can legally take the medication and have it put to use. It seems a shame with the cost of some medications to just have to throw it down the drain.

No organization is going to take them because of legal issues. If they accept those pills and something bad happens to the people taking those pills, the organization is liable.
In Illinois, they are try to pass a law allowing for cancer drug bank. In the proposed law, they have a clause absolving the organizations involved of any legal liability.

Nobody can take them if they have left the pharmacy.
