Suggested Improvement
Limit statements to what is explicitly supported by the provided FDA label excerpts (e.g., that MOUNJARO contains tirzepatide) and remove or re-anchoring any market-availability, generic/compounding distinctions, dosing variability, or third-party tracking claims unless the relevant FDA label sections are provided.
