Our Mission

Repurposed Pills is dedicated to helping people understand how existing medications can be safely and effectively used in new ways. We translate complex research into clear, practical insights so you can stay informed about off-label uses, emerging evidence, and real-world applications of repurposed drugs, supplements, and innovative therapies.

We believe high-quality, evidence-based information empowers better conversations between patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, and can accelerate access to promising treatments.

What Are Repurposed Drugs?

Drug repurposing, sometimes called drug repositioning, is the practice of applying an existing medication—originally developed for one condition—to prevent, treat, or manage another condition. Because safety profiles and manufacturing processes are already established, repurposed drugs can often move through the research pipeline faster and at lower cost, potentially bringing effective therapies to patients sooner.
