Abstract

The review was written based on the analysis of available publications (Pubmed, other Internet resources) on the problem of off-label use of drugs. It reveals the concept of off-label prescribing and discusses modern approaches to the use of off-label drugs in domestic psychiatric and addiction practice. The problems of normative substantiation of prescribing off-label drugs are discussed. It has been established that, despite some progress in this matter, for patients in adult psychiatric practice, the use of off-label therapy is carried out only by decision of the medical commission. The issue of substantiating the prescription of off-label drugs on the basis of scientific and clinical studies and experience in the use of drugs at the legislative level remains relevant.
