Recommendation
Mostly Aligned
Primary Issue
Minor omission of additional consequences listed in the label (e.g., dehydration/reduction in blood volume/circulatory collapse) within the boxed-warning-reinforcing sections.
Suggested Improvement
Optionally include that excessive or too-frequent dosing can cause dehydration and reduction in blood volume/circulatory collapse, consistent with the cited WARNINGS and OVERDOSAGE language.
