Refill adherence and self‐reported adverse drug reactions and sub‐therapeutic effects: a population‐based study

To assess refill adherence to dispensed oral long‐term medications among the adult population and to investigate whether the percentages of self‐reported adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and sub‐therapeutic effects (STEs) differed for medications with adequate refill adherence, oversupply, and undersupply.
