If you would like to donate them foc, I know of orphanages that really need this.
Do contact me for info.
I know it is cheeky of me to ask but it's the only way I know!

dazzer donated so much on his RTW trip that he ran over budget in South America, and despite a nomination to the Ted Simon foundation, it appears he has been ignored for inclusion.

I buy leftover Malarone regularly from people posting here and on the LP forums. I've got plenty at the moment, but thought I'd offer my perspective:
The sweet spot for pricing is half of retail, shipping included. If you want to sell, offer at that price point or lower.
Personally, I've always favored buying from people who plan to donate the proceeds to charity. There have been enough of these to keep me well-supplied for many years.
Hope that's helpful. If not, you know what to do.

Come on now.... No need for that !! The hubb is a smiley happy place.
FYI, a good friend of mine is a pharmasist..
I have Malerone tablets that has been in my draw for about 5 years. In a plastic screw top bottle. I asked him about it for when I took them to Africa.
He looked it up on his official computer database thingy that they have... He said they will be just fine. If they are stored in a dry place without contamination.. (obviously no 100% guarantees).
Lowever buget hospitals all over the world are stocked full of medication that has passed it's expiry date or left out in the sun for months on end.
Pharmasutical companies are just like supermarkets... They make up a lot of crap about expiry dates to make more money.

"Malarone Oral Storage Store at room temperature at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C) away from light and moisture. Brief storage between 59-86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C) is permitted. Do not store in the bathroom"
I hear ya Ted; but I think it is unlikely that the drugs on offer will have been properly stored and that could cost someone their life.
Expired drugs can be very dangerous - google expired tetracycline for example. Most drug expiry dates, however, indicate the date after which the active compound is no longer guaranteed to be as active as it should be even if it has been stored in optimal conditions. That's a hell of a gamble for you when you are talking about a life threatening illness.
As I keep sayin' about his and other issues, though, you pays your money and you takes your choice. I don't buy drugs in the third world either - at least not expensive ones..... (less profit and therefore incentive to fake the cheaper ones).
Buying second hand drugs is not like buying a second hand bike - you really don't know what you are getting; it may, for example, be fake shit that was bought in Africa - you just don't know. Or it could be bona fide shit that was carted around the world in a pannier or rucksack. And both scenarios could cost you dear.
Now ask yourself - what incentive do I have, other than informing you lot, to say what I say? I don't own a pharmacy. I make no profit on drugs you buy. Maybe, just maybe, I'm trying to help some one out [other than the purveyor of substandard drugs, that is].
Just sayin', that's all.
