OTC Medication List

With the exception of rescue medications, students are not allowed to possess and self-administer prescription or over-the-counter medications at school. Wells ISD health services collaborates with East Texas Premier Pediatrics for specific over-the-counter medications that may be administered in the school setting. Please see the list of OTC medications allowed by this collaboration. If you wish to supply your student a medication that is NOT on the list, please contact the school nurse for further guidance.
