The U.S. will now allow drug reps to give out information about UNAPPROVED uses of their prescription drugs

February 1999

But a new rule in the U.S. will now allow drug reps to give out information about UNAPPROVED uses of their prescription drugs.

This trend is expected to facilitate the exchange of information about drug use beyond what's in the package insert...and help get drugs approved for, and used for, important new uses.
