A study cited in the National Library of Medicine found that more than 60% of patients misunderstood prescription instructions immediately after seeing their doctor. In a related analysis, many patients were unable to accurately recall their physician’s directions just 10 to 80 minutes later. These misunderstandings can lead to missed doses, harmful interactions, and poor health outcomes. That’s why medication adherence is so critical. It ensures treatments are taken safely, effectively, and as intended. As healthcare providers strive to improve outcomes and reduce medication errors, clear, consistent labeling plays a critical role, one that auxiliary medication labels can aid.
