    GlossaryOff-label Use (Off-label Treatment)

    prescribing medication for an unapproved condition or dosage

    Off-label use refers to the practice of prescribing a medication for a purpose that has not been officially approved by regulatory agencies like the FDA. This can include using the drug to treat a different condition, in a different dosage, or in a different patient population than what is specified in the approved labeling. While off-label use is legal and can be based on sound medical evidence, it often requires careful consideration and professional judgment.
