Primary Issue
Claims provided are largely non-label topics (pricing, patents, market/distributor history, and comparative cost-effectiveness) and are unsupported by the supplied VIBERZI prescribing information excerpts.
Suggested Improvement
Limit claims to information explicitly present in the provided VIBERZI label excerpts (e.g., indication, dosing instructions by patient factors, contraindications, and specific warnings/precautions). If addressing non-label topics (pricing, patents, distribution), provide label excerpts or clearly mark them as outside the label evidence.
