Preferred term

off-label use  

Definition

  • The term refers to the prescription by a physician of a product approved by the food and drug administration (FDA) for a use other than the one for which the product was originally approved. Off-label use has long been legal, and many drugs are used for purposes other than those for which they were first developed and approved.
