Essay
45-47. No one other than a physician can legally prescribe drugs. The situation is not as clear cut for nonprescription drugs. In most secondary schools, the trainer or coach is not allowed to dispense nonprescription drugs that are to be taken internally by the athlete. This includes aspirin and over-the-counter cold remedies. The application of nonprescription wound medications is allowed by some secondary schools under the category of first aid but not by others. It is assumed that athletes who are of legal age have the right to use whatever nonprescription drugs they choose; however this does not preclude the fact that the trainer or coach must use reasonable and prudent caution about the types of nonprescription medication offered to the athlete. Generally the dispensing of medicinals by a member of the athletic staff to any athlete depends on the philosophy of the school district and is under the direction of the team physician.
