[Instruction on the use of drugs to an osteoporosis curative medicine].
Patient compliance with drug therapy is an important factor in achieving successful therapeutic outcomes. Noncompliance is one of the major problems to be solved in the drug therapy of patients with chronic disease such as congestive heart failure, hypertension, and osteoporosis. Recently, it has been demonstrated that understanding of medication used to treat patients and illness, experience of adverse drug reactions, and complex route of drug administration are significant influencing factors on the incidence of noncompliance. Thus, to avoid the incidence of noncompliance and to complete drug therapy, we have to give a sufficient explanation about their medication and illness to the patients, especially patients receiving long-term therapy.
