Some of our students are authorized to use over the counter medications (Advil, Tylenol, Tums, etc.) while at school. By law we are required to obtain parental consent to administer these medications. However, these medications may not be tied to a specific condition or allergy, and there is no other place in the medical form to list medications that can be used as needed for any appropriate purpose.

The end result is that we need to tie a medication to a "condition" (headache, etc.) but can't just have it on file for use when needed independent of a specific condition.

We would greatly appreciate the ability to add a medication section to the form so that we can collect these authorizations for OTC meds that can be used for any appropriate purpose.
