The Prescrire Drug Awards for 2021

Le Palmarès des Médicaments

This year, two drugs represented a major therapeutic advance justifying a  Pilule d'Or  ("Golden Pill" Award).  Five drugs made the Honours List, while two others were 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.
