The Prescrire Packaging Awards

Prescrire methodically examines all of the packaging for the drugs reviewed in its French edition, and publishes its annual Packaging Awards.


Prescrire examines all of the packaging items from the drugs analysed every month in the New Products section of its French edition: package labelling, bottles, blister packs, dosing and administration devices, safety caps, not to mention of course product leaflets.

This standardised process provides input for reviews in the New Products section and also culminates in the publication of the annual Packaging Awards, which reward good-quality packaging and provide a list of particularly dangerous packaging items.
