Does it really matter about how you take your medicine? Isn't the main thing that you just take it?

Question:
Does it really matter about how you take your medicine? Isn't the main thing that you just take it?
Answer:
Yes, it really does matter. Almost 1 in every 3 patients don't take their medicines properly, either because they don't realise it, or because they don’t think it matters.

But taking medicines wrongly can cause you harm. More than 1 out of every 20 people who get readmitted to hospital as an emergency are there because they did not take their medicines properly. Make sure you follow the instructions, and ask for help if you need it.
