How to Improve Medication Adherence?

We improve medication adherence by informing our customers and training our inhouse staff members to follow best practices.

They are mentioned below:

  • We recommend our customers to use pill dispensers. Pill dispensers not only let patients organize their medications for the week, but simultaneously, a pill dispenser is a visual cue for patients to take their medication on time.
  • We also have trained our staff members to advise our customers to refill their prescriptions before they run out. This way, our customers won’t miss a dose of their medication, thus allowing them to stay one step ahead of their diagnosed medical condition
