Going “Off-Label”

 

over-counter-drugs-21210173In order to receive FDA approval, drug manufacturers must provide research showing that their product delivers benefit in treating a specific condition. While drug in question may also help with other conditions, pharmaceutical companies may decide not to conduct additional expensive clinical trials that can get the medication approved for treatment for other purposes.

However, in recognition that a medication may effectively treat a disorder for which it is not specifically approved, doctors may decide to recommend its use “off label.”

Using a medication for a purpose other than the one for which it was approved by the FDA is often based on the fact that it has been shown to effectively and safely treat the conditions in Europe.
