How scoring works

Each round shows an indication. Type one medication associated with it — generic or brand names both count. You get one answer per round.

Points come from where a medication sits in treatment (first-line through specialist use) and how uncommon the use is. The very highest rarity bonus is only given to well-documented uses. Off-label status changes the label, not the points: off-label does not mean rarer or better.

  1. Standard ChoiceA first-line, widely used option.10–35 points
  2. Guideline AlternativeA recognised alternative listed alongside first-line options.20–45 points
  3. Second-Line FindTypically used when first-line options are unsuitable.35–60 points
  4. Specialist PickUsually reserved for specialist or later-line care.45–75 points
  5. Off-Label InsightUsed outside the approved labelling, with documented support.10–75 points
  6. Exceptional AssociationA rare, well-documented association.50–90 points

A higher score never means a medication is more effective, safer or more appropriate. It only means the association is less obvious.

Educational game, not medical advice. Pharmiliar must not be used to guide prescribing or treatment. Points reflect how uncommon an association is in our reviewed dataset — not whether a medication is better, safer or appropriate for anyone.
