The medical term is compliance; getting patients to take prescribed medications and to take them consistently. It's one of those battles that's very tough to fight at times. The best way to do it is to explain carefully why the drugs need to be taken and to get all parties to buy in and believe in the importance. There are always other attempts to achieve this goal. One of the latest is to flavor medications. In fact, there are companies set up to do this to allow common medications to taste better. Now, it sounds good on the surface, but there's a problem. If medications taste good, they could be a temptation to kids. Then you have an issue of a child taking pills that could be extremely dangerous because of the taste. If you choose to go with flavored medications, please keep them away and make sure they have safety bottles. That's a very important issue. Make sure you use common sense and you don't put children at risk. For more information, click onto www.MyMedicalReports.com
