Abstract:
Off-label drug use to some extent meets the clinical medication,achieves the most needed treat-ment of patients and promotes the development of medicine,but there exists certain risks at the same time.Through the analysis of the phenomenon of off-label drug use,from the perspective of medical ethics,this paper proposed that it should adhere to the principles of beneficence and respect,specifically,correcting the motives of off-label drug use,strict review of supporting evidence,ensuring patient's informed consent,strengthening ethical review andintroducing the insurance sharing mechanism,so as to achieve both the guarantee of patient's medication safety and the aversion of medical personnel's practice risks.
