Overview
Drug compliance is one of the conditions for effective treatment of various chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis as well. This disease is characterized by a variable course, remissions and relapses, and also by specific treatment. The character of this illness and used medications may represent a risk in terms of non-compliance. As in other chronic diseases, scientists engage in identifying of the compliance rate for many years and the aim of this work is to summarize the state of knowledge in the field of drug compliance in rheumatoid arthritis.
Key words:
drug compliance – adherence – rheumatoid arthritis
