## Text

The state of New Hampshire confirms its strong support for shared decision making between healthcare professionals and their patients. A licensee may lawfully prescribe an FDA approved drug product for an off-label indication and be held to the same standard of care as when prescribing for on-label indication when: I. Off-label use of the drug product for this indication has longstanding common use; II. There is medical evidence to support this use and no known evidence contraindicating such use, including but not limited to peer reviewed studies and practice guidelines from relevant medical societies; or III. The licensee has provided and the patient, or if the patient is a minor, the patient's parent or guardian, has signed an informed consent form that includes the known potential benefits, known potential risks, alternative treatment options, expected prognosis without treatment, and a disclosure that a prescription is for an off-label indication. The signed informed consent form shall remain part of the patient's medical record.
