All prescription medication must be kept in the clinic in the original container with a complete and accurate prescription label. When a prescription label is not legible or a dosage change is requested, a written physician order will be required. All prescription medication must be transported to and from the clinic by a parent/guardian. Students are not allowed to carry prescription medication on campus.
All medication brought to the clinic should be in the original container, clearly labeled with the student's name, and accompanied by written parental permission. Over the counter medication will be dispensed in accordance with labeling directions. Please consult the label for your child's correct dosage and recommended duration of treatment. Over the counter or non-prescription medication needed for longer than a two-week time period will require a written request from a physician.
Please note that due to the dangers of REYE'S Syndrome, no aspirin or aspirin-containing products will be administered by clinic staff unless expressly ordered by your child's physician. In addition, the clinic staff will not administer vitamins or herbal preparations.
Please feel free to contact the nurse with any questions or concerns. Let's have a safe and healthy school year. |
