Medication Adherence Tips

• Use a Pill Organizer: Sort medications by day and time

Why Medication Adherence Matters

Missing doses or not taking medications as prescribed can reduce their effectiveness, worsen your condition, increase side effects, and lead to complications. Poor adherence costs billions in avoidable medical expenses and healthcare visits. By following your medication schedule closely, you can achieve better health outcomes and manage your conditions more effectively.

What If You Miss a Dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it's almost time for your next dose. Never double-dose to make up for a missed dose. For specific guidance on missed doses, consult your pharmacist or doctor, as the appropriate action depends on your specific medications.
