Mentioning method of administration + brand name in a subject line/preview text where balance cannot be included.

What are the guidelines around saying method of admin with the brand name in a subject line/preview text of an email. For example, I understand that if we say "injection" with the brand name in the SL/PT that we need to include balance which we can't but how come for brands where their official brand name is "[brand name] I.V" that we can use that in a SL/PT without needing balance?

Generally, when the route of administration is presented as a claim of product merit (e.g. promotional claims such as “convenient oral tablet” or “subcutaneous injection for at-home use”) in an email envelope (i.e. subject line/preview text), it requires fair balance (FB). Please see our "Tips and checklist" document. This principle applies regardless of the dosage form appearing in the proprietary/non-proprietary name (e.g. “PrDrug X (examplumab for IV injection)”.
