Final answer:

Off-label use allows doctors to prescribe new drugs before FDA approval by using them for unapproved purposes.


Explanation:

Off-label use is the legislation that allows a doctor to prescribe a new drug before its official FDA approval. This practice involves using a drug for a purpose other than the one it was originally approved for by the FDA. Doctors may resort to off-label prescribing when they believe the drug can benefit patients, even if it is not yet officially approved for that specific use.
