what to do, not using my humira...

[Guest guest]

The good news is that diet, paying attention to diet and lifestyle, and a career

change, I have been in total remission for about 10 months now. Being on Cobra

and knowing my health plan will end soon, I have been filling my scrip for

Humira. I still do MTX but not frequently. I fill my scrips as my PA could

become active again and I wouldn't be able to afford it once my health plan

expires in a few months.

So my Humira has expiry dates ranging from a few months from now to mid next

year. I hate to see it expire and won't be using it if it expires. I am in a

quandary what to do with it. I understand that it can't be sold or even given

away. My Doctor says to return it to him or the pharmacy. It just seems such a

waste and I feel guilty getting it now, even though my intentions were good.

I have read all the info on shelf life for Humira.....wondering if anyone else

has kept it past the expiry date and done it? I know probably not a wise thing

to do for many reasons....but I am curious as seeing it go to waste seems a

shame.
