Subject: maybe (adv); meaning......
perhaps, possibly, or uncertainty.......may (n) be (v) used this way means might. However, when used either way, they both mean might. In so far as deciding which one to use, I would look at the context of the sentence and use the grammatically correct one. Hope I didn't confuse you even more.

Not on label usually means using a drug for a purpose other than what it was originally intended for.
