Medication Requirements Page

On this page:

Use this page to add or view medications or treatments that a student may receive. Medications and treatments are divided into two groups:

• Scheduled Medications - for medications and treatments that are given on a set schedule, such as prescription medicines or a scheduled diabetic sugar check. Enter the start and end dates, number of doses, and optionally, time. Doses with times display in the Day Sheet by default. Doses with no time display if you check the Show Entries without Times box. If a student may sometimes require an additional dose, for example, for an inhaler, include all possible doses, but leave the time blank for the additional doses.
• PRN Medications - for medications and treatments that are given when necessary. For example, your district might allow certain common non-prescription medications to be given if a parent has signed a general permission slip.
