Factor and Other Medications
Factor (Bleeding Disorder Medication)
How much factor should we send? Send enough factor for the full week of camp (prophylactic and PRN).
- If you are unsure, please contact your child’s physician.
- HoG will provide infusion supplies at camp — do not pack infusion supplies.
How does factor get to camp?
- If you order through HoG or Beacon Pharmacy, factor can be shipped directly to camp, or you can bring your home supply.
- If you do not use HoG or Beacon, you must bring factor to check-in/bus drop-off.
How should factor be packed?
- Pack factor separately from your child’s luggage.
- Keep factor in the original shipping boxes/bags.
- HoG staff will check in and inventory factor at the bus location/check-in.
- Coolers will be available to store/transport factor.
What happens after camp?
- You will receive documentation of factor used during camp.
- Unused factor will be returned to you at the end of the week.
- If HoG stock factor is used, it will be billed to insurance or other payment sources.
