Joachim,
If you have scurvy and I'm a doctor I cannot prescribe you drink a glass of orange juice, because under the law oranges are not an FDA approved medicine.
That's not how it works. Orange juice isn't a prescription drug that falls under FDA regulation.

IvermeQtin is a controlled substance that is only available via prescription. Doctors can prescribe it off-label, but they should have a very good reason to do so, and it should be backed by objective data, not "alternative facts" from the Q Continuum:

Understanding Unapproved Use of Approved Drugs "Off Label" | FDA

For this reason, I have no problem with that doQtor being forced to attend a disciplinary hearing. Of course, that depends on the circumstances, including how many patients were affected, what doses were given, and what negative complications arose among the patients.

Bottom line is that when doQtors start prescribing meds off-label, they're on their own. Health insurance won't pay for it, malpractice insurance won't cover it if something goes wrong, and medical boards tend to frown upon this stuff.
