Allows certain medications in multidose containers used by a patient during a hospital stay to be sent with the patient at discharge

Summary

The bill lets authorized health‑care providers send multidose medications—such as inhalers, insulin pens, creams, eye drops and infusion devices—to patients at discharge. It requires the medication to be properly labeled by a pharmacist, prescriber, or registered nurse, and limits the inclusion of controlled substances to narrow circumstances. This change aims to improve continuity of care after a hospital stay.
