Yes, doctors may write off label prescriptions, meaning writing prescriptions for diseases that are not intended by the FDA approved label. If AVXL 2-73 gains FDA approval for Rhetts, doctors may write prescriptions all the conditions you mention plus they may write prescriptions for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other diseases. However, Anavex may not promote its drug off label and may not advertise its drug for any condition other than for the condition the drug has been approved. I know of instances where substantial sales of a drug have occurred from doctors writing prescriptions for that drug off label.
