The Medication Adherence Scale

The Medication Adherence Scale is a tool used to assess how well a person follows their prescribed medication plan. It measures aspects like whether they take their pills on time, follow the dosage instructions, and stick to the treatment over time. Healthcare providers use it to identify potential issues with medication use, such as forgetting doses or intentional skipping, so they can offer support or adjust the plan. Essentially, it helps ensure that patients get the most benefit from their treatment by encouraging consistent and correct medication use.
