Primary Issue
Multiple claims are unsupported by the provided prescribing information, including lice and COVID-19-related assertions; additionally, the human-vs-animal formulation instruction overreaches beyond the provided 'veterinary formulation exposure' excerpt.
Suggested Improvement
Limit statements to what is supported by the provided label (e.g., SOOLANTRA is indicated for inflammatory lesions of rosacea; topical use instructions are specific). Remove or qualify unsupported claims (generic availability, Stromectol history, Sklice/lice, COVID-19 approval status, and the animal-vs-human directive wording) unless corresponding label sections are provided.
