Yes, but the OP reply has a point, anecdotal evidence is often a factor in finding off label uses for pharmaceuticals, so it's worth recording and investigating anecdotal evidence, it's certainly not the basis for ongoing advice, but it is a starting point for possibly worthy research. "When a drug is prescribed off-label, however, the risks may increase. That’s because the safety and efficacy of off-label uses has not been evaluated by the FDA. Instead, off-label use is often based on smaller sample sizes and anecdotal evidence, such as how well a particular doctor sees that an off-label use has worked for her patients in the past. While information like this can seem compelling, the drug hasn’t been put to the same rigorous scientific testing and analysis as it has for its on-label uses. Unexpected side effects can pop up, some of them serious." http://www.rotlaw.com/legal-library/what-is-off-label-use/ http://www.rotlaw.com/legal-library/what-is-off-label-use/
