Did you know?
in a 2015 survey, it showed that 30% of Canadians reported they stopped taking medication on their own, and 1 in 4 did not even fill their prescription or took less than prescribed
of those who did not fill their prescriptions, 20% reported that it was due to insufficient drug plan coverage while 12% did not have insurance and could not afford the prescription
of those who did not take medications as prescribed or did not finish medication therapy, 45% reported it was because they felt they do not need to take it anymore, 18% said it made them sick or it was not effective for them and 8% they could not afford to finish it
medication non-adherence results in repeated hospital admissions and increased physician visits, recurring illnesses, and worsening medical conditions.
