Explain what type of approval is necessary to dispense over-the-counter medications in a school setting
Providing a single dose of a nonprescription medication to a high school athlete is prohibited in most cases. You will need to check with the school administration and family to determine whether this is permitted. If allowed, providing OTC medications must only be done under the directions of the team physician or family physician. At no time can anyone other than a legally licensed person lawfully prescribe or dispense prescription drugs.
