Known published concerns and unanswered questions are kept separate so absence of evidence is never presented as reassurance.

Form describes the specific product; route describes how it reaches the body. These are sourced descriptions, not instructions.

Routes shown apply only to the named published or investigational formulation; they are not instructions for use.

Status applies to a product, formulation, route, population, and use. It does not apply to a name in the abstract.
