Bill > HB06064

This bill requires pharmacists to respond to consumer questions about prescriptions within twenty-four hours of being contacted. Specifically, the proposed legislation amends title 20 of the general statutes to establish a legal requirement that pharmacists must provide a response to any prescription-related inquiries from consumers within a 24-hour timeframe. This means that when a patient or consumer reaches out to their pharmacist with questions about a medication - which could include concerns about dosage, side effects, interactions, or other prescription details - the pharmacist is obligated to address those questions within one day of the initial contact. The bill aims to improve communication and accessibility between pharmacists and consumers, potentially enhancing patient understanding and medication safety by ensuring timely responses to prescription-related inquiries.
