Some medications can be given at school. The parent will need to bring the medication to school in a pharmacy prepared bottle. The nurse will have the proper paper work for the parent to sign. Parents should alert the pharmacy that an extra bottle is needed for the medication that will be dispensed at school. Parents will leave only the amount of medication the child will need at school, for the full time it is prescribed, with the school nurse. Most schedules for prescription medications can be given at home around the school day.
