FAQs

Getting Started

a

We don’t currently provide on-site medical services or prescribe medicine, but would like to. Can we receive medicine?

SIRUM can only facilitate prescription medicine donation to facilities that are licensed for and currently provide medical care or pharmacy services, and located in eligible states. If you do not meet this criteria, SIRUM may be able to provide over-the-counter (OTC) medication donations.

a

What medicine can we receive?

SIRUM can provide access to a variety of medicine, including prescription drugs that cover 75% of the most commonly prescribed medications, especially those for chronic conditions, as well as OTCs. We receive donated medicine through a nationwide network of medicine donors, so what you can receive may depend on current supply and location. SIRUM does not currently provide access to refrigerated or controlled medication.

a

We are based in the US, but primarily serve international patients. Can we receive medicine?

At this time, SIRUM operates under state-level drug donation laws and we typically do not facilitate donations of prescription medications outside the United States. You may qualify to receive OTCs.

a

Is receiving medicine free for organizations?

We typically ask community partners to pay a small fee to help cover costs. We aim for all community partnerships to be mutually financially sustainable.
