Report: Drug companies that promote unapproved uses face little risk of getting caught

Report: Drug companies that promote unapproved uses face little risk of getting caught: "When federal regulators catch a drug company peddling prescription medications for an unapproved use, it takes them an average of seven months to issue a warning, according to a draft report by congressional investigators. It typically takes four more months for the company to fix the problem. During that time, a lot prescriptions can be written."
