Eli Lilly's changed its opinion on Off-Label uses! Eli Lilly, a company that makes a diabetes drug, is now urging people not to use it for weight loss, a common off-label use, despite not raising concerns about off-label uses in the past. Off-label use, where a drug is used for something other than its original purpose, is a normal part of healthcare, and the FDA acknowledges this practice. However, Lilly's sudden stance seems driven by a shortage of the drug, which they want to prioritize for diabetes patients. This shift appears more about supply management than safety. It's crucial that companies and regulatory bodies maintain consistent messaging to avoid confusion and ensure patient care remains a priority.
Let's continue advocating for what's best for patients.
