Question:

Who should I discuss my childīs medications with?

Long-Term Medications

Daycare providers should be notified if your child is taking long-term medicines or if a dose is needed during the school day. Be sure to have an adequate supply of medicine in the facility. You should also have staff watch for any side effects or problems with your child taking the medicines and to notify you immediately.

Share Info with Caregivers

Be sure to discuss your child's medicines with all other caregivers including the other parent or step-parents. Share all the information and instructions so that your child receives the best possible care.
