Abstract
Patients who participated in brief face-to-face counseling sessions with a community pharmacist at the beginning of statin therapy demonstrated greater medication adherence and persistency than a comparison group. This brief targeted intervention at the initiation of maintenance drug therapy moderates the high risk of nonadherence and discontinuation; it helps patients establish a routine of daily self-medication and potentially improves their long-term clinical outcomes.
