I'm sorry if this has been addressed in earlier posts but I am now being switched to Sprycel after having some serious side effects with Tasigna.  However, I was sent my next month's supply of Tasigna prior to learning of the switch and my pharmacy won't take it back - never opened.  Anyone know of a program where I can donate this?  Seems a horrible waste of money even though I was still under the 3 free months program.

Thanks

I think it violates federal law. But it is hard to know you have perfectly good, high priced medication that could preserve the life of others who need it.
