About the Prescrire Drug Awards for 2021

Les Palmarès Prescrire The 2021 Prescrire Drug Awards are based on the analyses published in the Marketing Authorisations section of our French edition in 2021.

• The annual Prescrire Awards are granted in total independence by the Prescrire Editorial staff

Every month, in the Marketing Authorisations section, Prescrire's Editorial Staff points out which of the multitude of newly authorised products or indications are worth adding to the list of useful treatment options, and which are to be avoided. These conclusions are based on systematic analyses of the relevant evaluation data available on new drugs, new indications for drugs already authorised in a different clinical situation, and new pharmaceutical forms or new dose strengths of existing drugs.

Prescrire's multidisciplinary team has been conducting drug analyses for 41 years, that are free from influence from companies or other institutions intervening in the healthcare sector. Prescrire is funded exclusively by its subscribers, receives no grants or subsidies of any kind, carries no paid advertising, and has no shareholders.

The 2021 Prescrire Drug Awards are based on the analyses published in the Marketing Authorisations section of our French edition in 2021. These awards recognise products that represent a therapeutic advance, in that they offer better efficacy than existing treatments, provoke less frequent or less severe adverse effects (provided they also have similar efficacy), or enable a useful drug to be used more safely or easily.
