I carried lots of medicine from India and sharjah when I landed here.

I have more than 10 strips of Ibuprofen (Brufen-400) which is painkiller tablet which expiry date is sept 2010. Anacin whose expiry is aug 2010. Anacin is very effective headache reliever. I have thrown lots of medicine because of the expiry date.

Medicine are so expensive here. Brufen-400 which is costing just Rs.5-6 (per 10 tablet strips) is more than $10 here. I feel bad to throw away tablets after expiry.

Is there any solution for this?. Is there any medicine box where I can deposit these medicines.? what to do if one has stock of medicines.?
