What is Medication Non-Adherence? Medication non-adherence is when a patient doesn’t take a medication, either willfully or inadvertently, as prescribed by their healthcare provider. Studies have shown that 50% of Canadians do not take their prescription medications exactly as prescribed. The reasons for this vary from a lack of information, to being afraid to take medication or believing it doesn’t work, to an inability to follow instructions that may be too complex. Each year, medication non-adherence results in many hospital admissions. Your pharmacist can help provide you with the information you need to make the right decisions about when and how to take your medications.

Brandon Seniors for Seniors Co-op Inc. welcomes all those who are 55 plus to our programs and events. Our organization is committed to communication with our membership. It is our goal to have open and honest access to information through newsletters and emails, so we can “get the word out.”
