Cost of Noncompliance

Studies show that people with chronic conditions follow their medication regimens, as prescribed, only 50-60 percent of the time, despite evidence that MEDICATION THERAPY IMPROVES LIFE EXPECTANCY AND QUALITY OF LIFE. The most important figure is that approximately 125,000 deaths per year in the United States are linked to medication non-adherence.

Depending on the group being studied, as many as 69 percent of medication-related hospital admissions and 40 percent of nursing home admissions in the U.S. are due to non-adherence. The hidden pharmaceutical costs of traits like forgetfulness, procrastination and how we take our medications, estimates the annual tab for these human behaviors of non-adherence is approcimately $163 billion each year including costs for additional doctor visits, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, and additional medicines.

We want to help you take control of your health with the PillRite. This product was developed by the inventor of the PillRite for her personal use, so we know it works. It is time to take Control, IT’S TIME TO GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE.
