HB 5903 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Health: pharmaceuticals; labeling of generic name on pharmaceutical blister packaging; require under certain circumstances. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding sec. 17748g.

This bill requires pharmaceutical manufacturers to print the generic name of a drug on the packaging of blister packs distributed in Michigan. It applies specifically to non-controlled substances that are packaged or repackaged in this format, ensuring that the backing or individual cells of the blister pack display the drug's generic name. The legislation aims to improve clarity for consumers and healthcare providers by making it easier to identify medications directly on the packaging.
