Patient Compliance with Medical Orders
Patient
Compliance from the Merck
Manual
In studies of patient behavior, only about half of patients who leave a physician's
office with a prescription take the drug as directed. The most common reason
given for noncompliance is forgetfulness, which may be more appropriately
described as denial of illness; having to take a drug is a constant reminder
of illness.
