The Right to Treat Act protects physicians from state interference and disciplinary action for prescribing drugs off-label.
The Right to Treat Act, also known as Texas SB90, aims to protect physicians from state interference and disciplinary action for prescribing drugs off-label. It prohibits state officials from restricting physicians from prescribing, administering, or dispensing prescription drugs for off-label use. The Texas Medical Board cannot revoke, suspend, or fail to renew a physician's license based solely on off-label prescribing, as long as the physician's treatment meets the medical standard of care. The act does not create a cause of action against drug manufacturers.
