Factors associated with adherence to drug therapy: a population-based study.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To investigate adherence to prescription in a female population aged 35-65 years. DESIGN:Postal questionnaire study of 2991 randomly sampled 35- to 64-year-old women in seven provinces of central Sweden. METHODS:The study was performed in 1995 as a cross-sectional postal questionnaire study in seven counties in central Sweden. The questionnaire was sent to a random sample of 4200 women between the ages of 35 and 64, of whom 2991 (71.2%) responded. The questionnaire asked about drugs prescribed during the past year and about factors potentially affecting adherence. RESULTS:The same women had different degrees of adherence to different medications. A large number of factors were associated with adherence. Multivariate analysis revealed that age, scheduled check-up, perceived importance of medication, concerns about medication safety and taking medication for a respiratory or a cardiovascular disease were significantly related to adherence. Adherence ranged from 15-98% depending on these factors, and was the lowest among young women who regarded their medication as unimportant and who had no scheduled check-up; the highest reported adherence was found among elderly women who regarded their medication as important and who had a scheduled check-up. CONCLUSION:Factors that were associated with the perceived importance of medication had a positive effect on adherence, while concerns about medication safety had a negative effect.

  • Impact of CYP2D6*10 on mexiletine pharmacokinetics in healthy adult volunteers.

    abstract:OBJECTIVE:In vitro studies with human liver microsomes have suggested that the oxidative conversion of mexiletine (MX) to its metabolites is catalyzed by CYP2D6 and is significantly impaired in microsomes with the CYP2D6*10/*10 genotype. Therefore, we examined the influence of the CYP2D6*10 allele on MX pharmacokinetic...
