MEDICATION 

If possible, all medication should be given at home.

In New York State, medicine (including over-the-counter medications) can be given in school only with a written physician’s order, which includes the patient’s name, medication name, dose, and time to be administered.

The parent or guardian must also provide a written request and deliver medicine to the school in a pharmacy labeled container. This procedure must be followed for prescription as well as over the counter medications.

The pharmacy labeled container/ medication must be brought to school in a bottle marked with:

1. Name of student
2. Name of physician
3. Name of medication
4. Time to be given
5. · The dosage

If this procedure is not followed, medication will not be given.
