Firomsa BekelePublished in: Patient preference and adherence (2022)
The magnitude of non-adherences to AEDs was found to be high. Phenobarbitone was the most prescribed AEDs. The number of medications taken by the patients, the presence of co-morbidity and the occurrence of medication side effects had a significant association with non-adherence to AEDs. Therefore, the pharmaceutical care in general and drug information services in particular should be established to enhance medication adherence in our study area.
