With any medication, compliance is always a significant issue, even when they know they are electronically monitored for compliance.

This review of 76 studies that used gold-
standard EM devices demonstrated that
patients take -51% to 79% of doses daily
as prescribed across a wide range of therapeutic areas.
Considering the variety of medical dis-
orders evaluated in the present study, it is
likely that these findings can be extrapo-
lated to other medications, formulations,
and medical disorders. Research has
demonstrated that physicians are poor
judges of patients' compliance, and that
patients are poor judges of their own level
of compliance with the prescribed regi-
men.
