Tell Your Representatives to Co-Sponsor the Patients' Right to Know Their Medication Act
Representative Jared Golden (D-ME-02), co-chair of the Congressional Printing Caucus, and Representative Cliff Bentz (R-OR-02) reintroduced the bipartisan Patients’ Right to Know Their Medication Act (H.R. 5133). The legislation would require drug manufacturers to provide printed, FDA-approved patient medication information (PMI) covering dosage, side effects, and other essential details to every patient picking up a prescription in an outpatient setting. 

The bill standardizes these materials to a concise, one-page format and requires updates as new safety information becomes available. Patients need reliable access to printed medication information to adhere to their prescriptions accurately. The measure responds to efforts by the pharmaceutical industry to replace printed PMIs with electronic patient information. An online-only approach would create barriers for patients with limited internet access or in rural areas. Printed literature supports adherence, reduces adverse drug events, and ensures vital information is available regardless of electronic access. 

We need your help to amplify our voice. Tell your elected officials to co-sponsor the Patients' Right to Know Their Medication Act today!
