Extralabel drug use is the use of a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug in a manner different from what is stipulated on the approved label. Compounding is the process of preparing a medication in a manner not indicated on the label to create a formulation specifically tailored to the needs of an individual patient. Extralabel drug use and compounding are vital aspects of safe and effective drug delivery to patients in exotic animal practice. There are few FDA-approved drugs for exotic animal species, and many approved drugs for other species are not available in suitable formulations for use in exotic animals.
超说明书用药是指以不同于美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）批准标签上规定的方式使用已获FDA批准的药物。配制是指以标签上未注明的方式制备药物，以创建专门针对个体患者需求的制剂。超说明书用药和配制是外来动物医疗中向患者安全有效给药的重要方面。FDA批准用于外来动物物种的药物很少，许多批准用于其他物种的药物没有适合外来动物使用的剂型。
