Primary Issue
Two claims (generic name and specific brand names) are not supported or referenced in the supplied label excerpts.
Suggested Improvement
Limit claims to what is present in the provided prescribing information (e.g., indication from Section 1). If brand/generic naming is needed, use label text that explicitly addresses those naming details.
