| | for all indications | Explanation: This drug can be prescribed for a full range of indications, i.e. it isn't limited to one particular indication, so off-label use won't be necessary.

Just to clarify:
An indication is a disease or condition for which any particular drug has been approved by the health authorities.
If the drug is used for another disease (which it shouldn't be) then this is known as off-label use.

New indications for treatment of chronic inflammation by TNF-alpha blockade
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12589232
TNF inhibitors are indicated for rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and juvenile chronic arthritis, however they are not subsidised by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for all these indications.
