Off-label Communications by Mark Carlisle Levy Pdf
Drugs, biologics and devices increasingly are used to treat patients in ways that were not specifically approved by FDA. While FDA does not regulate off-label use nor forbid off-label prescribing, it does heavily regulate off-label promotion. This book provides comprehensive, practical advice on how to comply with those regulations. This guide gives a valuable historical perspective on off-label medicine. The authors discuss specific problems arising from off-label use and promotion, while providing practical instruction on how to deal with them, including: managing clinical trial disclosures; reimbursement; training and monitoring sales and marketing representatives; risk management; product liability litigation; ethical considerations and how the government is enforcing off-label sales and marketing compliance.
