Study shows that 60% of patients with heart disease fail to comply with their medication
The adage “health is wealth” is never
more true as we get to age and suffer from sickness. For patients with
cardiovascular disorders, adherence to medication goes a long way in ensuring
that their health is in its tiptop condition. However, 60 percent of these
patients are not complying with the medication as prescribed by their doctors,
according to a study.
Published in the American Heart
Association, the study revealed that non adherence to medication remains to be
a major problem for cardiovascular patients, often leading to poor clinical
outcomes, frequent hospitalizations, and increased mortality.
To prevent the worst consequences of
heart disease, expert says that religious compliance to medication should be a
top priority—starting from curbing the risk factors associated with the
disorder.
“One of the risk factors for developing heart disease is
having high blood cholesterol levels, which increases the risk of formation of
plaques and atherosclerosis,” said Dr. Amado Nazal, medical director of
PharexHealthCorp. “If our patients will comply with their medication from the
moment their doctors instructed them to lower their cholesterol levels, then we
will be able to keep their condition from worsening.”
He added, “We believe that many
patients fail to adhere to their medication because of the costs that come with
it. However, medication need not be expensive. This is why at Pharex, we
provide optimum health assistance to these patients through maintenance
medicines that are not only of high quality but also affordable.”
PharexHealthCorp., the most prescribed
brand of medicines, offers quality maintenance medicines that are designed to
help curb high cholesterol levels at an affordable price.
With Pharex’s 15-day Compliance Pouch
for Cholesterol, patients will be able to comply with their medication to prevent
tendencies of having chronic cardiovascular diseases.
“Fat as a result of bad cholesterol can
build up on the walls of your heart’s arteries, which suppresses the smooth blood circulation that’s
crucial to our body system’s functions,” Nazal said.
When arteries are narrowed down or blocked, the heart will not
be able to pump blood to the other parts of the body, Nazal added. “Too much
cholesterol weakens our heart, therefore putting to risk our lives.”
“With the new Pharex 15-day Compliance
Pouch for Cholesterol, we are assuring patients of three things: first, they
can conveniently bring their medicine whenever and wherever they go as it is
packed in a resealable foil pouch. Second, it’s affordable and accessible to
leading drugstores nationwide.Lastly, healthcare professionals proved and
tested the effectiveness of the medicine, making it a top choice for people who
have high cholesterol levels,” said Nazal.
Nazal concluded, “Failure to comply
with medication could cost our lives more than we realize. Now that the new
Compliance Pouch for Cholesterol is here, patients will be more able to improve
the quality of their lives without the added costs.”
