Primary Issue
Failure to address the provided FDA label content for SJS/TEN risk management and HLA-B*1502 screening; multiple unsupported indications and non-label pricing claims.
Suggested Improvement
Limit statements to the supplied label excerpts: indicate treatment of pain associated with true trigeminal neuralgia (SECTION 1), and include the Warnings/Precautions for TEN/SJS (discontinue at first sign of rash; do not resume if SJS/TEN suspected) and the HLA-B*1502 testing/avoidance guidance for genetically at-risk populations (SECTION 5 and PRECAUTIONS—Laboratory Tests).
