Medications

The following over-the-counter medications/treatments may be administered by health room staff with a completed and signed over-the-counter medication form:

• Bacitracin antibiotic ointment

• Calamine

• Hydrocortisone Cream 1%

• Metholyptus cough drops

• Aloe Vera lotion

The form also allows for you to confirm that your student can apply their own non-aerosol topical sunscreen, as needed.

If your student is prescribed medication that must be administered at any time at school (daily or as needed), the health room must have a signed order from a medical provider (DO, MD, CRNP, PA-C) on file. You must also supply the health room with the medication (we are not able to stock medications in the health room). Please review the SCASD medication policy here.
