Bill Summary
This bill requires the Department of Health (DOH) to post on its website a list of all drugs that are required by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to carry a "black box" warning on their label. The bill provides that if the FDA makes this information available to the public on its own website on or after the effective date of the bill, the DOH website may provide a hypertext link to that information as an alternative to posting the list of those drugs. A "black box" warning, which the FDA requires a pharmaceutical company to place on a drug label if medical studies indicate that the drug carries a significant risk of serious or life-threatening adverse effects, is the most serious warning that the FDA requires to be placed on the label of a prescription medication.
