Non-prescription topical ointments and sprays such as diaper creams, petroleum jelly, sunscreen, insect repellent, etc., will be administered to a child with a signed Topical Medication Authorization form. The signed form will be valid for one year and include a list of topical non-prescription medications.
In order to apply topical ointments to wounds or broken skin (except diaper rash), we must have an Authorization for Medication form signed by the child’s healthcare provider.
