Ohio SB209 allows patients to try unapproved drugs with physician consent, protecting providers from liability.

Ohio SB209, the Jeff, Dave, and Angie Patient Right to Try Act, allows patients to try unapproved drugs for off-label use with their physician's consent. Hospitals, pharmacies, and pharmacists must allow the dispensing of such drugs if no objections exist. Providers are immune from liability if they follow specific documentation requirements. The act does not apply to controlled substances, drugs under FDA risk evaluation, or drugs intended for euthanasia.
