Antiseizure medication nonadherence and its associated factors among Epileptic patients in Ethiopia, A systematic review and Meta-analysis

Medication non-adherence is the intentional or unintentional behavior of not filling or refilling a prescription, discontinuing a medication before the course of therapy is completed, failing to adhere to agreed recommendations from a healthcare provider, taking more or less of a medication than recommended, and taking a dose at the incorrect time [1, 2]. Numerous studies have found that a large proportion of epilepsy patients in resource-poor countries do not receive adequate treatment, with many individuals, despite diagnosis and treatment initiation, quickly becoming non-adherent [3].
