Four high school students in Fitchburg were taken to a hospital as a precaution today after a classmate shared his prescription medication with friends.

The students at Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School did not exhibit any symptoms from the drug, said Superintendent James Culkeen. The school nurse was notified that the teen was sharing his medication.

The students were conscious and alert but were taken to Leominster Hospital as a precaution, said Deputy Chief John Curran of the Fitchburg Fire Department.

Authorities did not specify what type of medication the students took.
