Dare I say it's a fault of the makers or the USA health system. Here in France you can not get more than your prescription says.
For me I get one shot of Tremfya every 8 weeks, if I ask for two shots from my pharmacie they will refuse unless my doctor writes a new prescription.
So either the maker of the treatment or the whole system is to blame for letting a patient have more than they need ?
When I was on Humira (if my memory serves me well it was two shots per month) but I was only allowed to collect one shot at a time. The only one I remember getting more often was Enbrel which I think was two shots per week but I couldn't get 4 shots.
No offence intended to you or your health system, it's just my thoughts on why our members from the USA often ask the question about passing on their unused treatment
