Parents or guardians of
girls who take prescribed medications (for example, allergy pills) should
inform leaders in advance.
Over-the-counter or
prescribed medications should be in the original container and
administered in the prescribed dosage by or in the presence of the
responsible adult as per the written
permission of a custodial parent, a guardian, or a physician.
Medications, including
over-the-counter products, should never be given without prior written
permission from a girl’s custodial parent or guardian.
Some girls may need
to carry and administer their own medications, such as bronchial inhalers/epi
pens.
Leaders should be notified of such a circumstance as well.
