ANS: B
The term off label indicates that the drug is approved for one use but may be used for a different purpose.
A drug still being tested in the FDA experimental stages is called an investigational drug.
The term fast track refers to the expeditious nature in which a drug would be channeled for approval by the FDA.
The classification of scheduled drugs has to do with abuse potential, not labeled or unlabeled uses.
