One issue is how drug reps push off-label prescribing. In order to increase sales. That was the core issue with Neuronin (gabapentin), for example.

Although off-label marketing is inappropriate and possibly illegal, in this case I believe patients probably benefited from it.

Off label prescribing is perfectly legal; off label marketing, however, is illegal.
