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.
