Weight Loss Injection Ltd - Off-Label Prescription Information

Off-Label Prescription Overview

Understanding Medicine Licensing:

In the pharmaceutical industry, the development of a drug involves a meticulous testing process to ensure its safety. Multiple clinical trials are conducted to assess the medication's effectiveness in treating specific conditions, scrutinizing various criteria such as efficacy and potential side effects.

Upon successful completion of these trials, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA) may grant a license for the drug to address the tested condition. 

The license encompasses crucial details about the medication, including:

  1. 1) Authorized user categories
  2. 2) Storage and usage instructions
  3. 3) Potential side effects and contraindications
  4. 4) Approved conditions for treatment

This comprehensive information is readily available in the accompanying patient information leaflet.

Exploring "Off-Label" Usage:

In certain instances, you might receive a prescription for a licensed drug intended to treat a condition not explicitly mentioned in its product license. This practice is termed "off-label" prescribing.

Healthcare professionals, such as doctors, dentists, or nurse prescribers, resort to off-label prescribing only when they believe the medication can effectively address the specific condition, with the benefits outweighing potential risks. It is imperative for the prescriber to transparently communicate that the drug is being prescribed off-label, along with disclosing any associated risks.

Our Commitment to Your Safety:

Your well-being is our top priority. Whenever a medicine is prescribed for off-label use, we are dedicated to informing you of this decision. Additionally, we provide accessible safety information related to the medication.
