Most people don t take heart drugs as directed
Not taking heart medications as directed is very common, according to a study in the American Journal of
Medicine. Researchers combined the findings of 20 different studies, which revealed how often
Only 57% of people in these studies filled their prescriptions as directed. People who had already suffered a
heart attack were more likely to take prescriptions as directed (66%) compared with people taking medications
to prevent future heart problems.
The researchers checked to see if people adhered to their therapy less frequently for drugs with more side
effects. This did not appear to be the case, at least not in the studies examined.
The cost of not heeding "doctor's orders" with cardiac medications can be a heart attack that you didn't have to
have--not to mention the risk of worsening heart disease. Are you having trouble sticking to your meds? Ask
your doctor or pharmacist for solutions.
