Patient Adherence and Its Impact on Anti-Viral Therapy
Adherence is a critical determinant of antiviral treatment success. Consistent dosing maintains therapeutic drug levels and prevents viral rebound.
Missed doses can lead to treatment failure and resistance. Education, reminders, and support systems improve adherence.
Healthcare providers work closely with patients to address barriers and promote long-term success.
In some situations, antiviral drugs are used preventively to reduce infection risk after exposure. This approach is especially important for high-risk individuals.
Preventive antiviral therapy complements vaccination and infection control measures. Proper timing and dosing are essential.
Preventive use helps limit disease spread and protect vulnerable populations.
