Guest snakes Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) I just wnted to see if anyone had any resources on this. I am planning on donating leftover medication after my grey's death and in a previous thread (now locked) a GT'er had questioned the legality of donation. In all my research it appears that donation is legal as long as it is not a controlled substance, for example narcotics, and specific storage requirement medications (ie - frozen). Most resources have specified however that medications cannot be re-sold and only donated to a non-profit organization. Also the recipient organization takes on the risk that the medication has been sotred properly and non-contaminated (a risk many will nto take for obvious reasons). Does anyone else have any knowledge or specific resources on this topic? Edited June 21, 2007 by snakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Would be interesting to know more. A DVM has given me donated meds for my foster Kenny.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickiesmom Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Here, at least, it is not allowed for a DVM to give open meds to clients. This has always struck me as wasteful in cases where all parties know each other well, although I am sure there is a safety rationale behind it.

Guest MorganKonaAlex Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Previously, I had accepted and given donated meds to my Vet. A few years ago, she stopped doing it for "legal reasons". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 People give meds to adoption groups all the time. You don't talk about it Legally I don't think the vets can do it. People wise not sure.
