Regime compliance is the observation and study of patients' dosing habits and their diligence in taking medication in the manner specified. Non-compliance reduces the effectiveness of treatment and causes health services extra costs and enormous problems. This book addresses the key topics and provides pointers for both trials and management of patients, and is therefore of immense topical interest.
