Primary Issue
Most claims are unrelated to the FDA label content provided (business/patent/timeline/market assertions) and lack label support; key safety-related label sections are not evaluated or addressed.
Suggested Improvement
Restrict claims to FDA label-supported content from the provided sections (Indications and Limitations of Use shown) and evaluate/quote label text for safety elements (contraindications, warnings/precautions, adverse reactions, and dosing/administration) before making any claims.
