Off-label and Off-licence Drug Use

Off-label and Off-licence Drug Use – MM1506

Off-licence use of drugs relates to the use of drugs that are unregistered by the MCC for use in humans. Off-label use of drugs is, on the other hand, extremely common especially in paediatric practice. Off-label use means that the medicine is used in another way or for an indication other than those specified in the conditions of registration of the medicine and as reflected on its labelling.
