Great link Natalie.
 
Yes IDDT is a great place to send them, I sent them an unused box of insulin I no longer use and got a lovely thank you letter saying it will help someone who can't afford to buy medication, a lovely thank you. makes a change to get a nice letter now and again.

Hi Steffie. Pharmacies wont take them back even if they aren't opened, they would have to throw them away. I'm sure someone on here would take them off you! Or you could send them to IDDT who will send them to developing countries. http://www.iddt.org/here-to-help/helping-developing-countries/

I returned a box to pharmacy and they threw them, as Natalie has said - didn't know about sending them to IDDT - have another box incorrectly dispensed to me now so will make sure these do not go to waste. 🙂
