What is medication Non-Adherence?
Adherence is simply taking your medicine, or not taking it as the case may be, in
any way that differs from the way your health care provider prescribed it to be taken. Non-Adherence can result in consequences ranging from unpleasant side effects of
the medication to exacerbated symptoms of the condition it was being used for, or
even ineffectiveness of the medication.
Common non-adherence errors include:
bullet Forgetting to take your medicine.
bullet Discontinuing taking your medication prematurely.
bullet Not filling or refilling a prescription.
bullet Taking the incorrect medication.
bullet Taking the incorrect dosage.
bullet Taking the right medication at the wrong time.
bullet Double dosing- taking two pills to make up for
a skipped one.
bullet Combining your medication with an inappropriate
food or beverage.
