Primary Issue
Most claims are not addressed by the provided NEXLETOL/NEXLIZET prescribing information excerpts (patent/exclusivity timing content not present).
Suggested Improvement
Limit claims to what is explicitly stated in the supplied prescribing information (e.g., indications, dosing, contraindications, warnings/precautions, drug interactions, adverse reactions). If discussing patents/exclusivity, cite sources other than the prescribing information or clearly label as non-label information.
