Prescription Information Modernization Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill would let drug companies provide the long, detailed information sheets for prescription medicines digitally instead of printing them on paper. Currently, these thick packets are often attached to drug bottles or boxes sent to pharmacies and doctors.
• Doctors and pharmacists would still have the right to ask for paper copies if they prefer them. Drug companies would have to send those paper versions quickly and cannot charge any extra money for them.
• The goal is to modernize how medical information is shared and reduce the massive amount of paper waste created by printing these inserts for every single bottle. Digital labels can also be updated faster when new safety information is found.
• The government would hold a public meeting within two years to talk about how to make these digital labels easy to use and accessible for everyone. New rules would also be created to make sure this change does not cost healthcare workers extra money.
