Import versus clinical validation
Source-section locators identify where retained content came from. A source-section identifier does not assert that every numeric statement has been independently corroborated. The local text hash is not a hash of original HTML, an FDA PDF or SPL XML.

The original individual GlobalRPh pages commonly cite NIH/NLM DailyMed and instruct readers to review the applicable package insert for updates. That historical reference is preserved as context; it is not counted as an independently retrieved current label.
