§ 111525 Experimental Drug Consent

• •Doctors must get your permission before giving you a new, untested drug.
• •The permission must be given in a specific way, following rules in another part of the law.
• •This rule is to make sure you know the risks before trying a new drug.

Your doctor wants to give you a brand-new medicine that isn’t fully tested yet.

The doctor can’t just give it to you—they have to explain the risks and get your clear okay first, following special rules.
