Primary Issue
Several statements are unsupported or only partially supported by the label (e.g., prescription status, pancreatitis risk, interactions with allergy medications).
Suggested Improvement
Limit claims to those explicitly supported by Indications, Mechanism of Action, Adverse Reactions, and Patient Counseling Information. Include dosage and administration details if addressing dosage. Avoid asserting interactions not described in the label (e.g., with antihistamines) unless supported.
