Patient medication adherence is multidimensional and poses significant concerns to health care professionals. One aspect of adherence is a patient forgetting to take their prescribed medication, which may be improved with reminder packaging (RP). The objective of this analysis was to assess the impact of RP on patient adherence to antihypertensive therapy.
