So, I’ve ended up with way more of this eye ointment than I actually need.
Usually, a tube like this goes for about fifteen bucks at the local drugstore, but I'm looking to just pass mine along to someone who can actually use them—I'll let them go for ten.
If you happen to grab a few, we can totally figure out a meetup somewhere in the Washington, D.C. area to make delivery easy.

That said, you shouldn't really be sharing eye ointment with anyone—you risk spreading whatever's going on from one eye to the other via the tip of the tube.

Not even if it’s been sitting there, totally sealed up and untouched?

Let me clear things up here.
The person using it ended up dealing with some minor allergic reaction after about ten days, so their doctor basically said, "Don't touch this stuff again." Since then, I've already gone out and grabbed three more boxes—that's 12 tubes total—which are all just chilling in the fridge right now, completely unopened.
The one tube that actually got opened? Yeah, that’s already in the trash.
As for the rest, they're basically pristine.

If nobody has used them yet, feel free to pass them along. But honestly, why not just head down to a CVS or Walgreens and see if you can swap them for something you actually need?

Pharmacies aren't even allowed to take meds back. That's what they told me when I tried returning a whole bunch of stuff my dad didn't need anymore.

Maybe at a local CVS or Walgreens, but those independent pharmacies will do it. They'll even hand you an antibiotic without a prescription if you push them enough. My guess is if the packaging is still factory-sealed, they might take it. I haven't personally returned anything, but I know plenty of people who have.

So I checked out a private clinic—not one in Washington, D.C., though—and they told me there’s basically zero chance of getting anything refunded because of how their rules work. It's kind of wild, especially since most of the meds were already covered.

I guess it all comes down to the individual owner. People pull all sorts of stunts these days; I'm sure they have some internal system in place to sweep it under the rug.
Personally, whenever I have leftover meds that are still good, I just donate them, so I really can't say for certain how they operate.
I'll try to track down which specific pharmacy this was, and if I find out anything, I'll shoot you a DM.

I actually picked that medication up over in Germany. There’s zero profit in it, honestly, considering what I paid for it.
If you can find someone to go grab it for me, I'll buy you dinner!
