Supporting Medication Adherence for Better Health

Medication Adherence

Taking your medication as directed is one of the most important factors in managing your health, especially when dealing with chronic conditions. At Mayberry Pharmacy, we understand that medication adherence can be challenging for many patients. Whether it's forgetting a dose, experiencing side effects, or struggling with the cost of prescriptions, we're here to support you every step of the way.

Why Medication Adherence is Crucial

Non-adherence to prescribed medications can lead to serious health consequences, such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure, particularly for individuals with chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease. Poor medication adherence results in 125,000 deaths annually and adds $300 billion in healthcare costs each year due to hospitalizations, emergency visits, and additional appointments.

By taking your medications as prescribed, you can prevent future complications and significantly improve your quality of life. Medication adherence is about managing your health and achieving your personal health goals, whether that’s controlling your blood pressure or maintaining the energy to enjoy life’s important moments.
