PRESCRIRE'S RATINGS
Our judgement is based on the therapeutic advance of the product in the relevant clinical situation. It considers not only the inherent value of each product in terms of its harm-benefit balance, but also its advantages and disadvantages relative to existing treatments. Note that the relative value of new products can vary from one country to another.

A REAL ADVANCE

|
OFFERS AN ADVANTAGE

|
|
POSSIBLY HELPFUL
The product has minimal additional value, and should not change prescribing habits except in rare circumstances.
