Illinois' Senior Senator wants to address false and misleading prescription drug advertisements seen on social media.

That's why Democrat Dick Durbin partnered with Republican Senator Mike Braun on the Protecting Patients from Deceptive Drug Ads Online Act.

The goal is to create bipartisan support, pushing legislation to close regulatory loopholes.

Under the Act, the Food and Drug Administration would issue warning letters and fines to influencers and telehealth companies engaging in inaccurate statements.

Durbin's legislation has the backing of the American College of Physicians and the Young People's Alliance.
