Off-label prescriptions
Here's something to be careful with:
One out of every seven prescriptions in 2001 was written by U.S. doctors on “little or no scientific support.” They’re called off-label prescriptions — the use of drugs for therapies not listed on the product labels or approved by the Food and Drug Administration... Some off-label uses are beneficial and based on good science. But because virtually every drug has side effects, an off-label prescription can do more harm than good.
So talk to your doctor and ask for more information before venturing into off-label prescriptions.
