Mostly Aligned

Primary Issue
Indication is not stated with full labeled scope for pediatrics (age/weight and episodic migraine) and does not mention pediatric non-approval for <45 kg; dosing details are omitted.

Suggested Improvement
Refine the indication to match label wording (preventive treatment of migraine in adults and preventive treatment of episodic migraine in pediatric patients 6–17 years who weigh ≥45 kg; not approved for <45 kg) and optionally include labeled dosing options (225 mg monthly or 675 mg every 3 months in adults).
