Why Do Patients Fail to Complete Treatment Courses?
Patients may fail to complete treatment courses for several reasons: - Adverse Side Effects: If patients experience severe side effects, they may discontinue the medication. - Lack of Understanding: Misunderstanding the importance of completing the treatment can lead to premature discontinuation. - Financial Constraints: The cost of medications can be a barrier, especially for long-term treatments. - Perceived Improvement: Patients may stop taking their medication if they feel better before the treatment course is completed.
