How tolerant is the FAA of "off label" medication? Specifically medications for blood pressure and cholesterol
I already have an SI for type 2 diabetes (oral meds). My BP and cholesterol are within normal limits, but my doc has been pushing me for years to take low doses of anti cholesterol and BP medication even though neither lab results are high.
Supposedly, those medications "protect" other organs in addition to their main effects.
Not seeking medical advice, but advice on whether the FAA has evolved on off label prescriptions.
