AI Summary
This bill amends the Public Health Code to allow patients to take home any unused portion of eye drops or eye ointments that were dispensed for an ophthalmic surgical procedure or medical care they received at a hospital or freestanding surgical outpatient facility. The bill requires hospitals and freestanding surgical outpatient facilities to offer the unused medication to the patient upon discharge, as long as the medication is required for the patient's continued treatment. The bill also specifies that if a pharmacist, rather than a prescriber, dispenses the unused medication, the pharmacist must ensure the medication is properly labeled, and the prescriber must counsel the patient on how to use the medication.
