Effectiveness Of A Program That Includes Counseling And Patient Support On Adherence To Treatment With Lipitor
NCT01078285
Last updated date
ABOUT THIS STUDY
Despite extensive reports of the benefits of statins in reducing serious cardiovascular
events such as stroke and heart disease in patients with elevated LDL-cholesterol, patients
do not take their medicines regularly as prescribed. Reasons include forgetfulness, lack of
understanding of the seriousness of the disease, and fear of side effects. An intervention
strategy comprising 3-5 minutes of counseling, emotional support and cost-sharing may be
motivational and improve adherence to treatment.
