lol. You can't order aducanumab on Amazon. The only place it exists in inside Biogen. There's no "off label" here.

- cogman10 5y agoRight, but that's not the point. The point is you are claiming that it'd be "illegal" for biogen to sell it. It's not because it's not a controlled substance. Biogen won't sell it, but that has little to do with the legality of selling it and everything to do with the fact that they want insurance money and to market this.
- thesausageking 5y agoThat's not how that works. If Biogen tried to sell unlabelled bottles of aducanumab, the FDA would come after them in a heartbeat. Picture the judge in the court case: "So, you developed this new molecule that never existed before, spent years testing it to treat alzheimer's, there's been hundreds of news stories about it, there is no other reason a consumer would buy it, and it costs $50k, but you expect the court to believe you didn't think it was being sold as a treatment?"
- cogman10 5y agoMight I again refer you to the fact that you can literally buy arsenic on Amazon. Would they do it? No. Would it be risky? Yes. Would it be illegal? No.
