Study Calls for More Research Into Off-Label Drug Use
A new study in the journal Pharmacotherapy calls for more research into the off-label use of 14 drugs, including three antipsychotics and six antidepressants. In creating the list, the researchers considered the volume of off-label use with inadequate evidence, drug safety, and cost and market conditions.
