What this amendment would do

SA 5801, submitted by Mr. Sanders, aims to add a section to the bill that creates a prohibition on direct-to-consumer drug advertising.

This amendment seeks to change the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by adding a ban on promotional communications that target consumers to market drugs. This includes advertising through:

Television
Radio
Print media
Digital platforms
Social media

The change would apply to any drug approved under section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or licensed under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act, regardless of when the drug was approved or licensed. The amendment is set to take effect 30 days after the date of enactment.
