March 27 – World Medication Adherence Day
Medication Adherence: The Foundation of Effective Treatment
Medication adherence is a cornerstone for the effectiveness of treatments and the safeguarding of our health.
When patients deviate from prescribed instructions, they face an increased risk of complications, hospitalisations, and a decline in their quality of life. The concept of "adherence" has its roots in the Latin word adhaerere — which literally means "to cling to, to remain steadfast."
Non-adherence to medication is a global challenge!
For this very reason, March 27 has been established as World Medication Adherence Day — a day dedicated to raising awareness and promoting responsibility towards therapeutic regimens.
Important reminders:
-
Take your medications exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider
-
Avoid skipping doses, even when you feel better
-
Do not hesitate to consult your doctor or pharmacist with any questions
-
Keep a regular log to monitor your treatment
Let’s spread the message!
Our health is invaluable — let’s make proper medication management an absolute priority!
