AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Food and Drug Administration to issue final rules within one year on the patient information sheet that must come with prescription drugs. Drug manufacturers would write the sheet, and the FDA would approve it as part of the drug's approval. The sheet would use plain language and a standard format, be printed on paper, and list the drug's uses, directions, warnings, side effects, drug interactions, and a manufacturer phone number. A printed copy would be given to the patient with each prescription filled. A prescription drug sold without this information as required would be treated as misbranded under federal law.
