Suboptimal adherence to food restrictions requirements related to drug regimens for chronic diseases

CONCLUSIONS: Patients adhered to dosing and cautionary instructions across the majority of the study period but were largely non-adherent to food intake restrictions. One quarter of patients did not receive an in-person consultation regarding their medication requirements, and patient-reported medication knowledge was low across all participants. Improved communication and increased emphasis on food intake restrictions is needed when advising patients on their medications.PMID:36912018 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2023.2189856
