Pharmacist answer

Can a family caregiver order cancer medicine for a patient?

Yes. A spouse, child, or appointed caregiver can place the order if the prescription is in the patient’s name and import rules for that country allow a personal supply. We still need the patient’s details for customs. Payment can be made by the caregiver. The medicine must be used only by the named patient. For lenalidomide and similar teratogenic drugs, extra identity and counseling rules apply — we will ask for them.

• Rx in the patient’s name.
• Caregiver may pay and receive tracking.
• Never share leftover oncology capsules or vials.
