Medication Adherence at Ramtown Pharmacy
At Ramtown Pharmacy, we understand how difficult it can be to stay on top of your medications, especially when you’re managing multiple prescriptions. Medication adherence—taking your medications exactly as prescribed—is critical for maintaining your health and preventing complications. Our family-focused, modern pharmacy in Howell, NJ, is here to help you manage your medications and stay on track with your treatment plan. Whether you're managing a chronic condition or taking short-term medications, we offer services designed to simplify your medication routine and support your overall well-being.
Why Medication Adherence Matters
Did you know that nearly 50% of patients don’t take their medications as prescribed? Poor medication adherence can lead to serious health problems, increased hospitalizations, and even death. For chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, missed doses or incorrect use of medications can cause significant health risks. Studies show that non-adherence leads to 125,000 deaths annually in the U.S. and adds nearly $300 billion to healthcare costs.
At Ramtown Pharmacy, we believe in empowering our patients with the tools and education they need to stick to their medication regimens. Whether it’s through medication synchronization, automatic refills, or personalized consultations, our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to stay on track.
Ramtown Pharmacy’s Services to Help You Stay Adherent:
Blister Packaging: We offer organized blister packs that sort your medications by day and time, so you never miss a dose.
Medication Synchronization: With our med sync program, we align all of your medications to be refilled on the same day each month, reducing the hassle of multiple pharmacy trips.
Automatic Refills: Never worry about running out of your medications. We’ll automatically refill your prescriptions and notify you when they’re ready for pick-up or delivery.
Personalized Consultations: Our pharmacists are available to review your medication list and discuss ways to improve adherence, including simplifying your regimen, answering questions and addressing any side effects.
Medication Therapy Management (MTM): Our MTM services involve a comprehensive review of all your medications, ensuring they work together effectively and addressing any potential interactions or issues. This personalized approach helps optimize your therapy and improve overall adherence.
The Impact of Non-Adherence on Your Health
When medications aren’t taken as directed, it puts your health at risk. Non-adherence can result in:
Worsening of health conditions: Missing doses can lead to uncontrolled blood pressure, blood sugar spikes, or increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Increased hospitalizations: Non-adherent patients are more likely to end up in the emergency room or require hospital care. It’s estimated that 33-69% of hospital admissions are related to poor adherence.
Reduced quality of life: Managing chronic conditions is tough enough, and skipping medications can make it harder to enjoy daily life without discomfort or worry.
