Hi,
Having completed my treatment, I have about 120, 200mg extra ribavirin
(generic Ribetol) that have an expiration date of 7/15/05.   I can not
bring myself to throw them away since I know they could be helpful to
someone. I don't want any money and I am willing to mail them free of
charge if in the USA. If anyone knows of an ethical way to dispense
these to someone in need, please respond to: temporarystuff@hotmail.com
Please, no cranks or trolls-I'm trying to do a good deed.
Thanks,
Laura

If you want to get rid of them and help someone at the same time, offer
them to a doctor close to you that is involved in clinical trials for
hepc.  Those docs are the most likely to be treating indigent patients
that can use the free meds.  You won't be breaking the law that way
either.  It's illegal for you to give your meds to someone, but the doc
can dispense them.
Giving your meds to another person also makes you liable in case they
drop dead or have a serious episode due to ribavirin. That's nice of you
to offer the stuff up, but real careful about how you do it.
