Why is Medication Adherence Important?
Effective Disease Management: Medications are prescribed to control and treat various health conditions. By adhering to your medication regimen, you ensure that your body receives the intended therapeutic effects, leading to better disease management and improved health outcomes.
Preventing Complications: Inconsistent or incomplete adherence to medications can lead to treatment failure, disease progression, and complications. Adhering to your prescribed medications reduces the risk of complications, hospitalizations, and emergency room visits.
Optimizing Medication Benefits: Medications work best when taken as directed. Adhering to your medication regimen allows you to experience the full benefits of the prescribed treatment, such as symptom relief, improved quality of life, and better overall health.
