Practical tips for keeping track of your medications Forgetting to take scheduled doses of prescribed medications can cost you time, money, and future health care problems. But remembering what to take—and when to take it—can be difficult when you have so many important things to deal with on an everyday basis. Taking Your Medicine: A Guide to Medication Regimens and Compliance for Patients and Caregivers is a practical guide to the process of taking medications, presenting helpful tips and simple ideas for patients, family members, and health care providers. Author Jack E. Fincham, named by Drug Topics magazine as one of the 50 most influential pharmacists in the United States, offers effective strategies that help patients help themselves by taking an active role in treatment decisions, following treatment plans, and getting involved when problems arise. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, patients suffering from chronic illnesses who live in developed countries achieve a medication compliance rate of only about 50 percent. In developing countries, the rate is even lower. Whether it’s due of a lack of understanding, a lack of motivation, or a lack of concern, the failure to take medication as directed can have serious consequences. Taking Your Medicine: A Guide to Medication Regimens and Compliance for Patients and Caregivers makes taking medication easier, examining organizational, educational, and behavioral impacts on compliance, apprehensions over adverse drug effects and side effects, choosing a pharmacist, specific methods for improving compliance, reasons for noncompliance, considerations in taking medication, and patients’ rights.
