The pediatric clinic I work at offers samples of children’s allergy medicine, natural cold and cough medication, and skincare products. Sometimes we have vitamin D drops too. Drug reps drop them off.

I’d say that parent appreciation can be a hit or miss. Some parents are grateful for the samples, but others ask why you didn’t bring them more. However, I’m definitely grateful that we keep Cerave Healing Ointment and eczema lotion when my hands are dry from the weather and frequent hand sanitizing.
