Appropriate tag?

The bulk of this article relies on one source-- [1], the Auvelity Prescribing Information published by the manufacturer. It's cited over 30 times... The Prescribing Information itself is mostly just a summary of 2 clinical trials, GEMINI [4] and another referenced as ASCEND in [5]. Between those two trials, roughly ~200 patient reactions to DXM/BUP have been studied.

Given the small sample size and the lack of studies by groups aside from the manufacturer, I think it's appropriate to tag this as needing additional citations/sources (as other researchers have time to study the drug). Do other people agree?

If so, which tag would fit best? I wasn't sure whether {{more citations needed}}, {{More medical citations needed}}, or {{more science citations needed}} would be most appropriate. NeuroPanda (talk) 16:14, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Controlled substance"

User:Whywhenwhohow What gives? Source [1] clearly has "rx only" on the label, which makes it a controlled substance. Psychlohexane (talk) 16:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A controlled substance in the US is one that is covered by the Controlled Substances Act. --Whywhenwhohow (talk) 04:24, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
