Yes it is.
In many cases as "... more than two 500mg Tylenol used it "off-label" but they did not use it wrongly..." it is used wrongly, it is just not harmful.
Incorrect This is because "harmful" is not the defining factor for the words "Off" and "Label" when used specifically and in exclusivity to describe drugs used "Off label". Off-label is not "wrong" it is only the practice of use outside the scope of FDA assessment. It's too time consuming and costly to approve a drug for every known use.
Using a drug outside of FDA approval is not "wrong", it is actually "right" to use a drug that is effective.
"... if the intent is to try to compare this to ..." Cover the Azz of the drug company's "... then sure spin it however you want..."
They don't need to have their Azz covered since it's not "wrong" to use drug off-label. It's completely legal.
Sign says speed limit 55, Could be compared to, '"on-label" Use ! Someone going 65, could be compared to ,"off-label" Use !
Poor comparison as it is actually against the law, or "wrong" to go 65 in a 55 zone. Off label use is like saying a person is walking on the sidewalk in a 55mph zone. Completely legal, not "wrong".
"A gun, by a person not in the military, "ON-label" would be shooting something like a target, animal, defense, etc.
A "off-label" use would shooting/killing a innocent person for no reason."
Poor comparison because "Off-Label" is not illegal, wrong, bad, unauthorized etc. It's legal. "Off label" would be using a legally owned pistol to shoot at a legal authorized target at a long-range. Perfectly legal, just not what a pistol was made for.
You keep comparing "Off label" to crime. Its not a crime, its legal, perfectly allowed, accepted. It's fine to do.
