[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But you're a hell of a lot less likely to go through the trouble of having the original packaging with your kid's name and correct dosage and stick some other random med in it, right?  Why would you even do that?

What they're attempting to do is make sure your child is taking medication that is properly prescribed and not expired.  You sound like a lovely and responsible parent, but let's get real these regulations exist for the lowest common denominator, which exists.

Many schools have communal epipens at this point.  I know my school in APS does.

My kid is supposed to carry her inhaler in her purse.  In fact the nurse told me to just have her secretly carry one and she probably won't get caught.  So no I don't buy that the concern is she's going to use someone else's inhaler.

They want to see the box, hold it in their hand, and then allow my kid to carry her inhaler in her purse anyway.

I do understand a need for rules but I also understand a need for common sense.[/quote]
