Abstract

In this study, half of the participants were found to be medication non-adherent. Respondents with a longer duration of treatment, substance users, those on antipsychotic polypharmacy, and those who develop extra-pyramidal side effect need prompt screening and critical follow-up to improve medication adherence.
