Rethinking medicines decision-making in Australian Hospitals

Description

These Guiding Principles provide a framework to support the quality use of medicines being used off-label in Australian public hospitals. These principles are intended to assist decision-making by health professionals, consumers and Drug and Therapeutics Committees in the evaluation, approval and use of these medicines.

CATAG has also developed a consumer counselling tool for use by healthcare professionals with consumers when considering treatment with a medicine off-label.
