extra-label

    0.01 sec.
extra-label
use of a drug in a way or for a purpose not specified on the label, or more practically the documents provided by the manufacturer. In the case of an adverse reaction the responsibility for any loss incurred rests with the veterinarian, not the manufacturer. Extra-label use is common in veterinary practice because of the large number of animal species being treated and because many of the diseases encountered in companion animals require drugs which have been registered for use only in humans.
