∙ 12y agoIt is when a doctor prescribes a medication for an ailment other than what it was FDA approved to be used for.
It is not illegal, and in most cases it is not cause for alarm (although there is the rare occurrence).
As an example, the drug Baclofen was FDA approved. Under "Indications and Usage" you will find only one illness: Multiple Sclerosis. However, doctors prescribe this medication frequently for other illnesses, such as Fibromyalgia and muscle spasm disorders that are unrelated to MS.
