Abstract
Multi‐compartment compliance aids (MCAs) are pill boxes or blister packs that organise medication according to the day and time it needs to be taken. On the surface of it, they seem like the ideal way to ensure older patients take their medications as prescribed, but there is actually very little evidence to support their use and they may have adverse effects. This article looks at research into the effectiveness of MCAs, and discusses factors affecting medication adherence in general.
