Patients’ Right to Know Their Medication Act of 2025
HR 5133, the Patients’ Right to Know Their Medication Act of 2025, requires drug manufacturers to provide standardized printed patient medication information (PMI) with each prescription dispensed in non-hospital settings. This PMI must include clear, plain-language details on drug name, usage instructions, warnings, side effects, storage, disposal, and interactions - formatted consistently with readable text and graphics. The bill directly affects patients receiving prescriptions, ensuring they get accessible, non-promotional printed information to improve safety and reduce errors. The FDA would establish regulations within one year of enactment, mandating that manufacturers include this standardized PMI on prescription drug packaging.
