I imagine that data will be forthcoming.
So basically, the FDA is the governing body in the United States that basically says the medical literature has reached a point that we can now use this medication to treat X. So big studies showed that these medications were effective in weight loss.
Two major studies came out in the New England Journal that then after that, the FDA followed with the treatment of the approval of Wegovi for weight loss and Zetbound for weight loss.
So by their stance currently, the data has not reached that threshold.
It needs a few more clinical trials, more prospective data, like we were mentioning.
What's quite interesting is that doesn't mean they can't be prescribed.
So just because something is an FDA approved doesn't mean that it can't be repurposed.
Getting back to your opening.
Off the books.
Yeah.
Off label.
Right.
Off label.
Yeah.
In fact, in addiction medicine, off-label prescribing is no mystery to us.
There is no FDA-approved medication for cocaine use disorder.
There is no FDA-approved medication for methamphetamine use disorder.
That does not mean we don't treat those people.
So there's a lot of repurposing that already happens.
I treat a lot of my patients with methamphetamine use disorder with naltrexone.
