Abstract | Off-label prescribing refers to prescribing that is not concordant with the indications, doses, routes of administration or patient groups included in the Australian approved product information. Off-label prescribing is common, especially for vulnerable patient groups who tend to be excluded from clinical trials, such as children and pregnant women. There may be increased risk of prescriber liability if the patient experiences an adverse event following off-label prescription, particularly when supporting evidence or guidelines are lacking. There may be additional costs to the patient if the medicine is not subsidised for the off-label indication. Prescribers should ensure patients are aware when a medicine is being prescribed off label, and informed of potential benefits and harms. Alternative pathways for approval of new indications, doses and patient groups may reduce the need for off-label prescribing. |
