Can I be sued for off-label use within standard of care?

Is it misuse to use medication for off-label uses? A patient sues after developing facial pain and other symptoms associated with the use of a topical for scabies. Is this physician guilty of practicing medicine outside the standard of care?

Key steps to avoid a malpractice lawsuit

Aesthetic practices that provide laser and light-based therapies should be cognizant of legal issues that may affect the practice. "Legal issues arise in all facets of medicine. However, in cosmetics, the patient’s expectation of outcomes is often in conflict with that of the clinician. There is a heightened potential for patient dissatisfaction that can ultimately lead to legal action," says Dr. Mathew Avram.

The business of dermatology

It goes without saying that medical students and residents receive invaluable training that prepares them to provide high-quality care to their patients. For the vast majority of physicians the quality of medical education training they receive is not accompanied by a similar level of business training.
