The Medical Letter
$19.99
The The Medical Letter subscription delivers independent, unbiased appraisals of drugs and treatments — critical reviews of new medicines and head-to-head comparisons of options, funded by no pharmaceutical company and driven by evidence alone.
Drug evaluationClinical referenceSubscription
Independent drug appraisals, free of industry influence
The The Medical Letter subscription exists to answer one question honestly: is this new drug actually better? Its critical reviews appraise new medicines and compare therapeutic options head to head, and because it accepts no pharmaceutical-industry funding, its recommendations rest on evidence rather than marketing — a rare thing in drug information.
Inside this resource
Critical, not promotional
Each review takes a new drug and asks what the evidence really shows about its benefit, harm and place in therapy — a critical appraisal rather than the optimistic framing that surrounds a product launch.
Comparisons in The Medical Letter subscription
Head-to-head comparisons of treatment options are the heart of its usefulness: not just whether a drug works, but whether it works better than what you already prescribe, which is the decision that actually faces a clinician.
Independent by design
It takes no funding from the pharmaceutical industry, and that independence is the whole point — the recommendations are shaped by evidence alone, giving you a source you can weigh against the promotional material that fills your inbox.
Who this serves
- Prescribing clinicians — an honest read on whether a new drug is worth switching to.
- Formulary and P&T committees — independent comparisons to inform coverage decisions.
- Pharmacists — evidence-first appraisals free of industry framing.
