    GlossaryPatient Compliance (Adherence)

    following prescribed medical advice and treatments accurately

    Patient Compliance, also known as Medication Adherence, refers to the degree to which a patient correctly follows medical advice and prescribed treatment regimens. This includes taking medications as directed, attending follow-up appointments, and making recommended lifestyle changes. High patient compliance is crucial for the effectiveness of treatments, especially in managing chronic conditions like alopecia, where consistent application of topical treatments or adherence to oral medications can significantly impact outcomes.
