Accessible Prescription Information in Maryland

Beginning November 24, 2026, Maryland pharmacies must provide prescription labels, bag tags, and medical guides in an accessible format for people who are blind, visually impaired, or otherwise print disabled. These materials must be provided at no additional cost and within a timeframe comparable to that for other customers.

Attend the showcase to learn what is changing, see available options, and identify solutions that can help you access information independently.
