A short YouTube video (single speaker) explaining the FDA’s role and limits: the FDA regulates drug manufacturing and manufacturers but does not regulate the practice of medicine or individual doctor–patient decisions. The speaker notes that off-label prescribing is common and that physicians are expected to follow evidence-based medicine; the FDA does not dictate personal health choices.

Chapters

The FDA regulates manufacturing of drugs. It does not regulate the practice of medicine in any way, shape or form. This is called off label prescribing is quite common. So something where something's drugs FDA approved for one thing, it can be used for another thing. And doctors are expected to use evidence based medicine. But the FDA does not dictate what you should do with your life. It doesn't dictate if you should take control of your health. And it doesn't get between you and your doctor or your provider. It does get between you and the manufacturer and the manufacturing of your doctor or your provider end up between you and your medical provider.
