The cost-effectiveness of a treatment is a determination of how well the treatment works relative to the cost associated with it. If a drug only reduces some symptoms of a condition, has many side-effects and costs a lot of money it is said to be not very cost-effective. However if a treatment is very expensive yet it completely cures a condition the money spent is worth the benefits and the treatment is said to be very cost-effective.
