Recommendation
Mostly Aligned
Primary Issue
Inclusion of non-label claims (generic status, substitution, insurer considerations) reduces alignment.
Suggested Improvement
Restrict statements to information directly supported by the label (indication, product identity). Consider omitting or clearly labeling any non-label or market-context assertions (generic availability, substitutions, insurer practices).
