Over-the-counter Medication. When it is necessary for a student to receive a medicine that does not require a prescription order but is sold, offered, promoted and advertised to the general public, the following procedure has been established to ensure the protection of the school and the student: Administration by school personnel Written permission must be provided by the parent or guardian for the administration of specific over-the-counter drugs. Any over-the-counter drug or medicine sent by the parent to be administered to a student must come to the school office in the original manufacturer's packaging with all directions, dosages, compound contents and proportions clearly marked. An administrator may designate a school employee to administer a specific over-the-counter drug. Each instance of administration of an over-the-counter drug must be documented in the daily log. Over-the-counter drugs must be kept in their original containers in a locked medicine cabinet. Self-administration Written permission must be provided by the parent or guardian for the administration of specific over-the-counter drugs by the student. Over-the-counter drugs or medicine sent by the parent to be administered by the student must be kept by the student in the original manufacturer's packaging, with all directions, dosages, compound contents and proportions clearly marked. Necessity for self-administration of an over-the-counter drug or medicine shall be determined by the student's physician and must be verified by a signed physician's statement attached to the parent or guardian permission form, indicating the specific drug or medicine. Protection of Students Use or administration of medication on school premises may be disallowed or strictly limited if it is determined by the Superintendent, in consultation with medical personnel, that a threat of abuse or misuse of the medicine may pose a risk of harm to a member of the student population. The student shall take extraordinary precautions to keep secure any medication or drug, and under no circumstances shall make available, provide or give the item to another person. The student shall immediately report the loss or theft of any medication brought onto school campus. Violation of this regulation may subject the student to disciplinary action.

The authorization shall contain the same information, with the same access, as is required relative to prescription medications. To the extent consistent with New Hampshire’s Nurse Practices Act, RSA 326-B, the school nurse may at his/her discretion accept verbal instructions from a licensed health care provider relative to administration of a prescription medication, and verbal instructions from a parent/guardian with respect to an OTC medication.
