AI Summary
This bill amends existing Illinois laws regarding prescription labeling to allow for more flexibility when dispensing certain medications, specifically mifepristone, misoprostol, or their generic alternatives. Under the Medical Practice Act of 1987, if a healthcare professional dispensing these drugs requests it, the label on the medication's packaging can now include the name of the dispensing healthcare practice instead of the individual practitioner's name. Similarly, the Pharmacy Practice Act is updated to allow, at a prescriber's request, the label to show the name of the prescribing healthcare practice instead of the individual prescriber's name. These changes aim to streamline the labeling process for these specific medications while maintaining patient safety and information.
