Hi,
Can you help me with a project i'm working on?
Its a stats project and I want to sample patients that are on a medication where I can assess their medication adherence using some kind of test. such as hypertension meds and checking their bp or patients on cholesterol meds and checking their lipid panel. My target is also with the low literacy population so I want to use medications that are harder to comprehend than a once a day drug.
So! Can you tell me generally which meds for hypertension and cholesterol that are NOT once a day, if any?
And if not, can you think of other conditions that have drugs that are not once a day and can assess its effectiveness by some test? I was looking at pain but so many drugs are PRN and the pain index is very subjective.
Thanks so much!
