this is an issue that I wish the laws would correct. There is so much discarded medicine in the landfills because it is illegal to share, even via our doctors or the pharmacy. My latest example is I have a bottle of IBS drugs that my husband picked up for me that the GI doctor ordered in advance of my colonscopy. The drug cost almost $500 and I didn't need it. If I had made the pharmacy run I would have refused it. It sits in an unopened bottle and I have to just toss it out (and my $$$). Maybe someday that will change. best, Laura, MSnet moderator, DX '08
