The Prescrire Drug Awards for 2022

Le Palmarès des Médicaments

This year, none of the drugs we examined represented a major therapeutic advance justifying a  Pilule d'Or  ("Golden Pill" Award).  One drug made the Honours List, while one other was cited as Noteworthy.

The  Pilule d'Or  ("Golden Pill") is granted to drugs that represent a major therapeutic advance in a field in which no treatment was previously available. Drugs included on the Honours List constitute a clear advance for some patients compared with existing therapeutic options, albeit with limitations. Drugs that are deemed Noteworthy provide a modest improvement in patient care.
