Summary

This completed study looked at 261 adults with chronic diseases in Egypt to understand why they don't take their medications as prescribed. Researchers used a questionnaire to measure non-adherence and identify related factors like age, income, and side effects. The goal is to help pharmacists and doctors create better support strategies for patients.
