Microsoft word - medication authorization and notice

If your child requires an over the counter medication, such as Motrin or Tylenol, we are required by the state of Massachusetts to have proper authorization on file for each medication. These medications are generally left at the center to be used in the case of your child having a fever, teething, or other ailments directed by you and your child’s physician. Over the counter medication needs both parental and physician authorization. On the reverse side, is the form to be filled out and signed by you and your child’s physician. This form can then be returned to the center with the proper medication. You are not required to provide this form or any medication to the center, if you do not wish to have it on file. We are providing you with the information and documentation if you desire to do so. ______________________________________________________________________________ 451 Elm Street • North Attleboro, MA 02760 • Tel 508-695-7227 • Fax 508-695-7229 Authorization for Medication
