Off-licensed drug

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There are pieces of notable concepts here but I do not think there is anything here to merge elsewhere because there are not citations here.

My perspective is that the core concept expressed by this article is the idea of a physician recommending a medication in a country which is not licensing the medicine for that use. That makes this article a high-level concept for a combination of off-label use, drugs in clinical research, personalized medicine, the time when a new drug enters the global market but before it is licensed for use in all countries, and some other odd cases.

There are no sources cited and I think there is no one term which combines all these cases as this article is trying to do.

Of the cases it raises, I think it would be interesting to have a Wikipedia article on "medicine which is approved in one country, but not approved by governments in other countries" but this article by this title is not that, and only mentions the concept.

 * delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. This whole thing is an WP:OR collection of tidbits. That has existed since 2006.  So many nooks and crannies in WP where cruft lodges and festers.  Jytdog (talk) 21:26, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
