Drug Adherence Solutions
Increase drug adherence rates
Depending on the characteristics of the condition, the treatment, the patient, and the setting, estimates of medication non adherence rates typically range from 30% to 60%, with the non adherence percentage being greatest when the patients are symptom-free.
In an era when efficacious drug therapies exist or are being developed at a rapid rate, it is discouraging that one half of the patients for whom appropriate medication is prescribed fail to receive the full benefits because of inadequate adherence to treatment. One study showed that 77% of patients demonstrated degrees of compliance with their medication regimen when the treatment was designed to cure a disease and only 63% of patients complied when treatment was aimed at prevention. However, when medication was to be taken over a long period, compliance rates dropped dramatically to approximately 50% for either prevention or cure.
Studies show that 20% to 80% of patients make errors in taking medication and that 20% to 60% stop taking medications before being instructed to do so. With older populations, the literature concerning persistence rate reports that range roughly from 38% to 57%, with an average rate of less than 45%. Patients forget to take their medications, creatively alter their medications, engage in unendorsed poly pharmacy, mix their medications, and take medications in combinations that may have dire synergistic interaction effects, such as dizziness and confusion.
