Have Arikayce to Donate

Posted by lisw @lisw, Nov 27, 2023

Have 30 plus new vials of Arikayce (use with Lamira nebulizer) to donate. Stopped use just after delivery of new supply.
Hope this is possible since I would not like to waste. Since refrigerated, would need to be relatively near me in Northern California.

It is not recommended that patients share their unused medications. The safer method is to return the unused medication to a pharmacy or through your state Drug Return or Medication Donation program. Different states use different names. Here are a few examples:
- California Drug Take-Back Program https://www.takebackdrugs.org/
- Wyoming Medication Donation Program https://health.wyo.gov/healthcarefin/medicationdonation/
- RX Take Back- Prescription Drug Disposal Program Arizona https://www.apachejunctionaz.gov/859/RX-Take-Back--Prescription-Drug-Disposal

For safety reasons, Mayo Clinic does not recommend that members exchange unused medications or supplements and the sharing of mailing addresses raises privacy concerns.

@lisw, I appreciate your kind offer to members. Safety and privacy precautions are a good reminder for all members.
