After reading your message on sharing the unused medication and many other messages, I remember warning about never to share one person's medicine with others.I think some people can use it appropriately if the very same medicine is prescribed to them in the exact dosage, but others may think it may be beneficial to them and want to try. We do not know what other medications people are on, what interaction certain shared medication may cause.There is also warning that if the bottle is opened not to use.I do not mean to discourage people, but I must admit I was having second thoughts on sharing medication.
