Medication Packaging Requirements

Pennsylvania law requires that only pharmacists or manufacturers dispense medications into labeled containers.

We can only accept medications in the following manner:

• Original pharmacy bottles
• Commercial packaging
• Pharmacy-prepared blister packs or pill packs – Required for children taking multiple medications together

We suggest using Horsham Pharmacy – they are local and will coordinate delivery with Camp Onas’ nursing staff. 

Unfortunately we cannot accept:

• Weekly pill organizers
• Zip-top bags
• Loose or unlabeled pills
• Parent-filled containers
• Herbal mixtures without commercial labeling
• Compounded products without pharmacy labeling

If packaging does not meet these standards, the medication must stay home.
