I feel so bad for people trying to find albuterol. I no longer use it and have a half a case just sitting around waiting to expire. I contacted CVS and said I would give it to someone in need and they said I couldn't do that. They are all in sealed vials - what a shame!!

Where do you live? I could pay you for shipping, if it is worth the money to do that.

@lauraadam2425, CVS is right. It is not recommended that patients share their unused medications. The safer method is to return the unused medication to a pharmacy.

For safety reasons, Mayo Clinic does not recommend that members exchange unused medications or supplements and the sharing of mailing addresses raises privacy concerns. While I know your offer originates from kindness, safety and privacy comes first. This is a good reminder for all members.

Thank you, Laura, for your kindness.
