Can you trust pre-schooler to take his/her own medicine

I am still very upset now as ds1 teacher did not feed him medicine in the afternoon and he was coughing non-stop when I reached home. Got to give him his inhaler and singular pill to relieve his coughing.
Teacher told him because mummy did not submit the consent form which I did on Monday and it was the same teacher who had given me the form. I am mad also because teacher did not even bother to verify with his form-teacher or simply call and check with me. :x
I am thinking if I can't trust the teacher to feed ds1 medicine, I might as well train him to take his own medicine. I had ever taught him how to use his inhaler and think he manage well.
Ds1 is 6yo, do you think it is advisable to let him take his medicine in school himself? It is usually after lunch and just one spoon each of the medicine.
Anyone can share when do you start letting your child takes his/her own medicine?
