Wow, you learn new stuff everyday! I recently hurt my back, and am on some pretty darn high doses of oxycodone while waiting for my neurosurgeons appt. Enough so I actually took the prescription back to the doctors office to see if it was right, lol.
I was warned by pharmacist to be careful if I took tagamet, b/c it would increase the effects of oxycodone.
So, I looked up "off label uses" for it, and apparently, it does everything from cure cancer, stop sexual urges, treat warts, etc, ect! Who knew? Anybody else know of weird off label uses for OTC stuff?
when glucophage is being taken in the context of infertility, it is prob being used to treat poly cystic ovary disease, which has an insulin resistance component....so not really off label...

yeah..
if you are not a gambler... and you have some restless legs
take a boatload of mirapex
and go to vegas!!
I am REALLY trying to comprehend that one. When I first heard it, I looked in my drug guide and saw nothing about gambling. But, yeah, if the feeling were to hit, I would take the first thing smoking to see if it works...:lol2:

Yes, I heard that for the first time here on this board. I totally flipped out on that one. And, when I checked my nursing drug guide, it says nothing about this off label use. I assume they make more money for treating impotence.
