This bill would ban pharmaceutical manufacturers from advertising prescription drugs directly to consumers through television, radio, print, digital platforms, and social media. The ban would apply to all FDA-approved drugs and would take effect 30 days after the law is enacted. Currently, the United States is one of only two countries that permits direct-to-consumer drug advertising, and this legislation seeks to eliminate that practice entirely. The bill, introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders and five co-sponsors, affects drug manufacturers and would ultimately impact what advertising consumers see for prescription medications.
