Primary Issue
Unsupported market/payer/patent/competitive claims with no on-label support in the supplied prescribing information excerpts; material safety warnings (serious infections/malignancies) omitted.
Suggested Improvement
Limit claims to what is present in the FDA label; include and accurately summarize the label’s serious infection and malignancy warnings/precautions from sections 5.1 and 5.3 (and related monitoring/discontinuation guidance). Remove or clearly qualify non-label market/patent tool statements as outside the prescribing information.
