Medication Adherence

Medication adherence, or properly taking medicines, is usually described as the degree to which patients follow their physicians’ prescriptions. This includes things like filling prescriptions, remembering to take medications on time, and comprehending the instructions.

For managing chronic diseases, treating transitory symptoms, and overall long-term health and well-being, it’s essential to take your prescription precisely as recommended. Medication adherence requires a personal relationship with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

The worldwide market for medication adherence was worth $1.7 billion in 2016 and is expected to rise to almost $4.0 billion by 2021, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.0% between 2016 and 2021.
