Adherence
The percentage of doses of a drug taken correctly, as prescribed, for the required period of time, adherence is a combination of compliance and persistence, ie, the correct self-administration of treatment for the study period or treatment duration. The patient makes an informed decision about treatment and agrees this with the physician.
