Medication compliance

Medication compliance refers to how well a person follows their prescribed treatment plan, including taking medicines exactly as directed—in the right dose, at the right times, and for the full duration. Good compliance is important for medications to be effective, control health conditions, and prevent complications. Factors like understanding instructions, remembering doses, and managing side effects can influence compliance. Healthcare providers often encourage open communication to address any challenges, helping patients stay on track and maintain their health effectively.
