Printed Drug Labeling Requirements Remain in Effect

Nov 21, 2025 | Drug & Biologic Product Submissions, Drug Label Research, Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics

As of today, U.S. Prescribing Information (USPI) must still be distributed to prescribing healthcare professionals in printed paper format. Despite ongoing discussions around digital transformation and electronic product information, the requirement for printed labeling remains in place under current federal law.

This means pharmaceutical manufacturers are still responsible for composing FDA-approved USPI content into print-ready documents for distribution. Even if electronic distribution becomes authorized by future legislation or regulation, printed versions will continue to be required for compliance and must be promptly available upon request, though the overall demand for printed copies is expected to decline.
