The
MedicTag can be used for other purposes besides an
emergency - it can be a great organizer and time
saver. Once you have provided the detailed information
you need to assure the health and safety of your
child, you can easily update the MedicTag anytime. Be
sure to place bright labels in obvious places to
inform emergency responders about the MedicTag. You
can download labels from our site
here.
Be sure
to read our other
Helpful Hints column for more ideas. As a special
needs parent, consider getting a
MedicTag for yourself!
