Requires clear, standardized drug information to be printed and given with every prescription.
This bill would make sure you get easy-to-understand, printed information with every prescription drug you pick up. It would require drug manufacturers to create standardized patient medication guides that explain how to safely use your medicine. This aims to help about half of all Americans who use prescription drugs better understand their medications and avoid harmful side effects, potentially saving $14.6 billion to $26.2 billion each year.
Today, there isn't a standard, easy-to-read paper guide given with every prescription drug. This bill would change that by requiring a standardized, printed patient medication guide to be included with each prescription. This could help prevent costly emergency room visits and hospital stays related to drug side effects, potentially saving $14.6 billion to $26.2 billion each year.
