>In terms of “off-label” drugs, the FDA approval process is there to protect against liability. Effectively, the government accepts some liability and in return medical companies get some protections. It’s highly likely you’ve taken drugs “off label” yourself.
Off label drug use/ approval isn't about government liability. As far as I know, it has none. The noteworthy exception is the vaccine's, where the government has a special injury compensation fund, but I wouldn't call this liability . It IS about manufacturer liability, and insurance reimbursement.
