Medication Policy

Montgomery ISD Medication Policy

All medications must be brought to the clinic by an adult. This includes cough drops, over the counter creams, etc.

Prescription drugs and Non-prescription drugs:

The school must receive an authorization to administer medication form before a medication can be given. The form is available in the clinic or on our website. This form must be signed by the parent/guardian. Any medication being taken for >14 consecutive days, must also have the physician's signature. In addition, the following must occur:

  1. The medicine must be in the original container and not expired.
  2. All medicine must be brought to and removed from the clinic by the parent/guardian, not the student.
  3. For prescription medicine, the label must contain the student's name, name of medication, directions for use and date.
  4. Any changes to a prescription regimen require a new medication label.
  5. For over the counter medicine, such as Advil, we can only give the recommended dosage on the bottle; any amount exceeding that requires a physician's approval in writing.
  6. The following conditions require additional paperwork: Diabetes, Asthma, Food allergies, severe allergies requiring emergency medication and Seizure Disorders.
  7. Please only bring small quantities of over the counter (OTC) medicine due to limited space available.
  8. Medicine cannot be stored during the summer months. Please make arrangements to pick up any medication left in the clinic prior to the end of the school year. Also, each school must have a new and updated Medication Authorization form every year.
