Relating to patient access to prescription drugs for off-label use.
SB 90, the "Right to Treat Act," ensures Texas physicians can prescribe prescription drugs for off-label uses (such as treating conditions not approved by the FDA) without state interference. It prohibits state officials from restricting such prescribing and prevents the Texas Medical Board from disciplining physicians for off-label prescribing if treatment meets the medical standard of care. The bill excludes abortion-inducing drugs from its provisions and explicitly states it does not create legal liability for drug manufacturers or physicians for harm resulting from off-label use.
