 Dosing several times daily is another factor and may contribute to non-adherence more than the overall number of medications taken.  Adherence rates for once a day medication averaged 87%; twice daily averaged 81%; three times per day averaged 77%; while adherence to medications that required four times per day dosing dropped to only 39%.  Evaluating the medication regimen and keeping it as simple as possible for the patients will promote adherence.
