Off-Label Prescribing
(Drug Wonks)
In their entries, bloggers Robert Goldberg and Peter Pitts both weigh in on
the issue of prescribing drugs for off-label uses. Pitts references an article
in the Aug. 17 issue of Drug Industry Daily and disagrees with calls
from some for more restrictions on the practice, while Goldberg cites his personal
experience of benefiting from off-label use of anti-convulsants.
