End Prescription Drug Ads Now Act
This bill bans direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs by pharmaceutical manufacturers. It affects drug companies that currently market medications directly to patients through TV, radio, print, digital platforms, or social media. The prohibition applies to all prescription drugs approved under federal law, regardless of when they were approved, and takes effect 30 days after enactment. The law targets advertising practices without altering drug approval processes or patient access.
