There were 3 super nice ladies that really helped me and my grandmother out. But some of the others weren’t too nice.

Two years ago I was unable to donate in Jacksonville NC due to the medications I was taking can I go to a different center now to donate

Amy Gautier | Sep 26, 2022
L M | Oct 3, 2022

If you're no longer taking the medications, sure, give it a shot. If you are, though, you'll have to check to see if they're on the list if medications you cannot take while donating. If the medications aren't on that list, they'll have you take a paper to your doctor and let them decide if the medications are okay for you to donate. Just make sure youre honest about all of it because they do test the plasma, after donation, and you'll be banned if they find it. Hope this helps.
