Prescription Information Modernization Act of 2026

This bill would let drug makers provide the required prescribing information for prescription drugs only in electronic form, instead of on paper. Manufacturers would have to let prescribers and pharmacists choose to keep getting paper copies or request them as needed, and would have to send requested paper copies promptly at no extra cost. The Department of Health and Human Services would have to issue final rules within one year and hold a public workshop within two years on the format and usability of prescribing information. The change would apply to drugs shipped on or after the earlier of two years after the law passes or the date the final rules take effect.
