# Patients' Right to Know Their Medication Act of 2025 – Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Patients' Right to Know Their Medication Act of 2025 would require patients to receive clear information about their medications from healthcare providers. While the bill's specific provisions aren't detailed in available materials, the title suggests it aims to ensure patients have access to comprehensive information about prescribed drugs, potentially including ingredient lists, side effects, alternatives, and other relevant safety or effectiveness data. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect patients receiving prescription medications and the healthcare providers who prescribe and dispense them. Pharmacies, hospitals, and doctors' offices would likely need to update their practices to comply with new disclosure requirements. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Cliff Bentz (R-OR) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House.

Many bills at this stage do not advance further in the legislative process. To learn more about the bill's specific requirements, you would need to review the full text on Congress.gov.
