E-DRUG: off-label use and free (commercial) speech? (cont)
----------------------------------------------------------

dear E-druggers,

Same rules as the Netherlands apply in New Zealand. For further information
we have published an article at our website

http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/

in the "information for health professionals" section which describes the
responsibilities of the prescriber when they use medicines "off-label".

[go to the "unapproved medicines" submenu; it is unfortunately too big
to reproduce here. WB]

Lots of other useful info on NZ medicines also at this site.

kind regards
