Here we have had very similar patterns with a twice a day
dosing prescription. What you can see, however, is that there's actually independence
between the first dosing of the day and the second dosing of the day. First dosing is
quite erratic, occurring any time between 7 or 7:30 in the morning and 11pm at night, with
the evening dose being pretty consistent. That's very similar to what we find about the
relationship of adherence between different regimens. A person’s adherence to medication
is wholly independent of their adherence to exercise or diet; we can't generalize from one
regimen to another. And what we're learning is we can't generalize between dosing
intervals for the very same medications within the same regimen. |
