What if my child is only bringing over-the-counter medications, vitamins, herbal products, or supplements?

  • A prescriber’s signature is still required. Over-the-counter medications, vitamins and supplements WILL NOT BE ADMINISTERED without a prescriber’s order and SIGNATURE.
  • Please have your child’s provider complete and sign the Prescription and OTC Medication Authorization Form (see separate FAQ “How do I access the Prescription and OTC Medication Authorization Form?” for further instructions) for all over the counter medications, vitamins and supplements.
  • If you are not able to use the Authorization form, the provider can supply all the same information (Trainee name, medication name, medication dose/route/frequency and the prescriber’s name, NPI number, license number and signature) on office letterhead, electronically signed patient portal message, or prescription paper.
