Does anyone know if there is a way to donate remaining Xtandi? I know how costly it is, and would feel better if someone who needs it could use it. It was dispensed by CVS specialty pharmacy. Thanks for any info.

In a State in the USA this reference might provide some clues for further research on possibly donating cancer-related drugs.

I've personally never heard of it being done for Xtandi in the USA. Giving or selling prescription drugs directly to other individuals is most likely illegal in all jurisdictions.

It is illegal to give meds to persons other than for whom they were prescribed. However, I've known clinics to accept sealed packages and "arrange disposal" (wink wink).

I would not expect anyone to accept bottles / packages with the seals broken.

Who knows, someone might reach out to you if you have an email in your profile (I didn't look).

My father was prescribed Xtandi and we couldn't afford it, so he was put on Zytiga 2 days ago to see what will happen. I am in Canada.

Do you mind donating it to us?

Please have that discussion by private email. The OP has an open email in his profile.

As much as I hope you can work something out, please see Rule 1.
