Returning and donating are not exclusive options. You can donate medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, that are not eligible for return credit. Many organizations find that most of their medications, especially OTC products, are not creditable. Donations can provide potential tax deductions, offering more value than return credits.

Medication not labeled for use in the U.S. is not eligible for donation. We only accept donations that meet U.S. labeling standards to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations.
