From Jeff Thom, Director of Governmental Affairs
This year we will be sponsoring a bill on accessible drug labeling, although we don’t yet know the number. We are looking for folks who have had experience with dosage errors that could have been prevented had their prescription drugs contained accessible drug labeling. If you do have such a story and are willing to share it, please e-mail me at jsthom@comcast.net or phone me at 916-995-3967.
