For a child with food allergies or asthma, having life-saving medicine is critical in an emergency when every second counts. A medicine bag is great way to keep your child’s medicines together, protected, and easy to find.
For younger children, you can use a bag to keep medicines together in a diaper bag or to give to a teacher or babysitter. If your child is ready to self-carry their medicines, they can use these bags to carry them in their book bags or grab them for recess, lunchtime, assemblies, after-school activities, and more.
There is no set age when a child is ready to carry their own medicines. And there is a difference between self-carrying and self-administering. We have resources available to help you decide what is best for your child.
