Medication adherence is a serious challenge for providers treating patients with many types of illness. Patients with acute conditions are more likely to be adherent than those with chronic disorders. In the Present study out of 201 patients enrolled, the medication adherence assessment was conducted in 59 patients who were selected based on the study criteria. The baseline score was taken and later the scores are taken at the First month and Second month. Among 59 patients the base line score was, 0 patients with score 0, 9 patients with score 1, 8 patients with score 2, 12 patients with score 3, 12 patients with score 4, 10 patients with score 5, 6 patients with score 6, 2 patients with score 7, 0 patients with score 8.The first follow up score was 0 patients with score 0, 14 patients with score 1, 16patients with score 2, 7 patients with score 3, 14 patients with score 4, 6 patients with score 5, 2 patients with score 6, 0 patients with score 7, 0 patients with score 8. The second follow up score was 0 patients with score 0, 21 patients with score 1, 14 patients with score 2, 17 patients with score 3, 2 patients with score 4, 3 patients with score 5, 2 patients with score 6, 0 patients with score 7, 0 patients with score 8. The p-value between the base line and 1st follow up, 1st follow up and 2nd follow up, base line and 2nd follow up shows 1.00 which shows no significance; but descriptively it can be observed that, the patients are getting adhered to their medication, as the patients are coming to the group of moderately adherent and highly adherent.
