“MY DOSAGE WAS RECENTLY
CHANGED, AND I WAS LEFT WITH A
$10,000 PRESCRIPTION I COULDN’T
USE. I’M HANGING ONTO IT. IF MY
PLAN CHANGES AND THE CURRENT
PRESCRIPTION IS NO LONGER
APPROVED, THEN I HAVE EXTRA.
EVEN THOUGH IT’S NO LONGER THE
RIGHT DOSE, I’LL TAKE IT.”

THE NEW “GOOD SAMARITAN” LEGISLATION
ACROSS 40 STATES PROVIDES LEGAL
PROTECTIONS FOR ORGANIZATIONS AND

FOR PATIENTS WITH PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS
WHO HAVE UNOPENED, UNEXPIRED MEDICATION, RESCRIBE IS A
PHARMACEUTICAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM THAT GIVES SAFE,
AFFORDABLE, CONVENIENT ACCESS TO UNUSED DRUGS.
UNLIKE WASTEFUL DISPOSAL METHODS, WHEN YOU DONATE YOUR
MEDICATION TO RESCRIBE, YOU HELP OTHERS AS WELL AS THE
ENVIRONMENT.
