The response includes multiple unsupported claims (off-label indications, tablet strengths, and general acquisition/counterfeit statements) not grounded in the supplied RALDESY prescribing information.

Primary Issue
Most statements are not supported by the provided RALDESY FDA label excerpt, including off-label uses and incorrect product formulation/strength details (tablets vs oral solution).
Suggested Improvement
Limit claims to the supplied label-supported information: MDD indication in adults, the formulation/strength as labeled (oral solution 10 mg/mL), and the boxed warning/pediatric safety statements provided. Remove off-label use claims and any general legal/generic/counterfeit/pricing statements that are not present in the label excerpt.
