Massive presence of off ‐label medicines in Danish neonatal departments: A nationwide survey using national hospital purchase data

In conclusion, off-label medication in the Danish neonatal departments is widespread. The pharmaceutical industry is unlikely to solve this problem, a nd we may for a very long time be occasionally forced to use off-label medication. Practical solution must therefore come from multidisciplinary clinical and academic collaboration. Use of formulation list as guidance for prescriptions and NICU-friendly galenic formulations may mitigate the problem temporarily while waiting for definitive studies.
