Abstract

The common failure of patients to follow medical instructions creates a problem for the physicians who need to know whether or not their patient are following advice. Lackof patient compliance with prescribed regimens, is an important and fascinating problem in medical care. Reports indicate that patients do not follow medical instructions faithfully and that physicians are unable to determine their patient's cooperation levels. Medication compliance has been defined in terms of agreement between the prescription and the behaviour of those who wilt be taking medicines. The conclusion that can be drawn is that more research in the cited field Is quite necessary.
