The answer is **Yes**.Here's why:* **Off-label use:** The doctor is using the product for a condition (migraine) that is not listed in the prescribing information. This is considered off-label use.* **Pharmacovigilance (PV) reporting:** Pharmacovigilance is the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problem. * **Potential for harm:** Even if the doctor's friends have seen positive results, off-label use can still pose risks. The product may not be adequately studied for migraine, and there could be unknown side effects or interactions.* **Ethical and legal considerations:** It's important to report off-label use to ensure patient safety and to contribute to the overall knowledge base about drug safety.**The Zuellig Pharma Medical Representative has a responsibility to report this event to ensure patient safety and to contribute to the ongoing monitoring of the product's safety profile.**
