Drug ads keep patients informed. They also reduce stigma, raise awareness, and spark conversations that a patient might not have known how to start otherwise. For someone navigating a new diagnosis, an ad can be the first time they hear the name of a treatment that changes their care. Don’t silence the information patients depend on.

Patients deserve the right to try when no other options remain. Today, patients facing life-threatening illnesses can still be blocked from accessing investigational treatments, even when they are willing to accept the risk with input from their physicians. Patients should be making these decisions – not federal agencies.

The free flow of information keeps Americans informed. For patients managing a health condition, that's especially true. When access to health information is restricted, patients lose out. Their ability to understand their treatment options and make decisions about their own care is limited. Learn more at InformedPatients.org

Patients deserve tools to make informed decisions about their own care. That means real access to health information about treatments, options, and the care available to them. It means healthcare systems that put patients and their providers first, not bureaucrats or outside gatekeepers making decisions on their behalf. Informed patients are healthier patients.

Information is power — especially for the millions of Americans living with a chronic condition who are navigating treatment decisions every day. It's how you learn there's a new option. How you know what to ask your doctor. How you take control of your care. Informed patients are healthier patients. For those living with a chronic disease, that's not a slogan — it's a lifeline.

For patients living with chronic illness, information matters. Policymakers should listen to patients living this reality every day @RepJasonSmith. Read Dorothy Leone-Glasser’s story about navigating lupus for more than 45 years in the @NewsTribune. Patients deserve to know their options.

Disclosure, not bans. "Health halos" and buried ingredient lists aren't giving families a real choice — they're giving them the illusion of one. IPP Executive Director @CZ shares why clear, standardized food labels are what American families deserve.

Clear food labels aren't a consumer issue. They're a patient safety issue. Millions of Americans manage chronic conditions by following their doctor's guidance on what to eat. They can't do that when the food system is designed to hide what's inside.

What's in your food shouldn't be hidden in fine print. In a new blog, IPP Executive Director @CZ makes the case for clear, honest food labels — not bans, just the truth American families need to make real choices about their health.

Every American family deserves clear answers about what's on their plate. For too long, complex ingredients and confusing labels have left parents guessing. With clear information, families can make the choices that protect their kids' health — whether at the grocery store, at the drive-thru, or at the dinner table.

Sure, drug ads aren't always fun to watch. But for some patients, these ads can be the first introduction to treatment options they might not otherwise know about - especially for those who can't afford frequent doctor visits. As Informed Patients Project Executive Director @CZ puts it, that ad - however cheesy or repetitive it may feel - could be what changes a patient's care trajectory. It could even save their life.

Lupus has had fewer FDA-approved treatments than almost any other condition. For 45 years, Dorothy Leone-Glasser, Executive Director of @ARxCAdvocates has navigated that reality firsthand. Drug ads aren't clutter. For patients like her, they're often the first — and only — sign that a new option exists. Take that away, and you don't protect patients. You silence them.

Patients shouldn't have to fight the system just to fight for their lives. For patients with life-threatening conditions, Right to Try means access to investigational treatments when no other options remain, offering patients a choice when it matters most. Learn more at InformedPatients.org

Drug ads don't make decisions for patients. They start conversations. And those conversations can save lives. That's not a distraction. That's exactly how informed patients become healthier patients.
