Popis: Medication compliance has important consequences for clinical outcome and for health care costs. From the perspective of the pharmaceutical industry and the health-care provider it is necessary to incorporate non-compliance into pharmacoeconomics evaluations. The aim of the review was to give an overview of the pharmacoeconomics importance of medication compliance. The impact of non-compliance on health care costs and quality of life, as well as the cost-effectiveness of compliance and compliance enhancing interventions were evaluated. In summary, there is a clear need for more research on the field of non-compliance to find out more about the pharmacoeconomic impact of medication taking behaviour.
