GoToPills delivers off-label alerts that increase patient safety and decrease liability risks for physicians.
why gotopills was created:
i was inspired to create gotopills after a client came to my office suffering from kidney damage after taking a prescription drug for migraines. however, the medication was only fdaapproved for seizures.
my research revealed that that once a prescription medication receives fdaapproval for a particular reason, age, duration, and gender it can be legally prescribed by a doctor for a completely different application or patient population that has not been tested for safety or efficacy. these drugs are called offlabel and they comprise almost 80% of prescribed medications and there is no requirement that you be informed that the medication you or a family member is taking is offlabel.
