Technically, even as a SFA-trained citizen (if they don't recognise your certifications in that state) you are allowed to assist in giving medication at the prescribed dose and with consent of the patient. You cannot administer the medication, but if they are having trouble taking it, you are allowed to assist.
If more than assistance is required though, and the person's life is at stake, I'd say take the risk and deal with any legal technicalities later (though there probably won't be any if you followed protocol and acted in good faith).
What is an SFA? Then what protocols? Sorry, I don't have any protocols for off duty, neither does most others, unless that EMS wants to cover for litigation later.

Sorry about that, I guess SFA isn't as global a certification as I thought. SFA is Standard First Aid (and usually accompanied with Level C CPR). And by protocols, I meant that if you treat the patient the same way you normally do where you typically work, there shouldn't be any problems.What is an SFA? Then what protocols?
