NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Several students at a Bronx elementary school, after officials said a classmate gave them Excedrin PM.

The students from P.S. 360, at 2880 Kingsbridge Terr. in the Bronx, were taken to Montefiore Medical Center – but only as a precaution, officials said.

Parents told CBS2 a female student brought the medicine – a headache reliever and sleep aid containing acetaminophen and diphenhydramine citrate.

It was not clear why she was handing it out.

The Department of Education said the matter was under investigation.
