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 Pharex HealthCorp.
“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.”
Pharex
HealthCorp., 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.”
