Reducing dose frequency may help improve asthma medication adherence
Findings from a Propeller Health study recently published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology demonstrated that patients with asthma who are prescribed once-daily dosing schedules are more likely to adhere to their controller medications than those with twice-daily prescriptions. The percentage of patients who achieved greater than 80% adherence was also significantly higher for once-daily users compared to twice-daily users, with once-daily users being 1.4 times as likely to achieve high medication adherence as twice-daily users.
