The CLEAR LABELS Act aims to improve transparency in drug labeling by ensuring that consumers can easily find out who made their medications and where they come from. This helps people make informed choices about the drugs they use.
1. This bill requires drug labels to show the original manufacturer and supply chain details. 2. Labels must include a unique identifier for the manufacturer, packer, or distributor. 3. Consumers can access this information through a link, barcode, or QR code on the label. 4. Drug companies must provide this information in both electronic and paper formats if requested. 5. The bill also exempts certain drug products from specific marking requirements.
Patients and consumers who use prescription medications will benefit from clearer labeling.
