Aviation Medication Transparency Act of 2025

Key Points

• The FAA would have to create a public website listing all medications that are safe for pilots and air traffic controllers to use. This includes both prescription drugs and medicine you can buy at the store without a prescription.
• The goal is to help people training to be pilots or controllers know exactly which medicines they can take without losing their medical certification. Currently, this information can be hard to find or confusing for many people in the industry.
• The list will also show how long a person must wait after starting a new medicine before they can go back to work. It will also clearly list which drugs are banned by the FAA.
• The FAA must work with pilot unions, air traffic controller groups, and colleges to make sure the list is easy to understand. They will also provide a way for doctors to contact the agency with questions about specific medications.
• This list must be updated every year to include new drugs or changes in safety rules. This ensures that aviation workers always have the most current information to stay healthy and keep flying safely.
