Discretionary Medications |
Consent for the Administration of Approved Discretionary Medications
The Baltimore County Public School System has a program that allows for the school nurse to administer specific discretionary medications in accordance with established protocols. These medications are Tylenol, Benadryl, Tums, Cough Drops, and Throat Lozenges. These discretionary medications are intended for occasional use only. This service is available to alleviate your child’s minor discomforts and avoid early dismissals when possible. Your consent must be obtained before any medication can be given to your child. The parental permission must be renewed each year.
