Primary Issue
Majority of claims are about pricing/insurance/copays/patient assistance and are not supported by the provided FDA-approved label excerpts.

Restrict claims to FDA-label supported content from the provided sections; remove or qualify all pricing/coverage/copay/assistance eligibility statements unless supported by included label text (none was provided). If discussing administration phases, cite explicit labeled language from the complete DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION section.
