Abstract-Utilization of medications as prescribed impacts the relative effectiveness of evidence-based medical treatments. Regaining control of the magnitude of the clinical effects of proven innovations to advance healthcare is necessary. This review examines recent studies examining the magnitude of the effect of full adherence to drug therapy on the relative risk of two outcome measures: mortality and cardiovascular events. Studies conducted to identify the impact of medication non-adherence are included throughout. Increased awareness of the significant impact of non-adherence on medical practice can contribute to the creation of effective counseling and intervention strategies to address the problem sooner rather than later.
