Vishwa Virendra

Our study showed that Health education was significantly associated with medication direction discrepancy, which is in accordance with previous findings that low health literacy participants were more likely to misunderstand dosage instructions and miss doses. Therefore, the reading ease of dosage instructions on drug labels should be improved, especially for patients with low Functional health literacy. The health consequences of medication direction discrepancy could be severe, especially for patients taking cardiovascular medications.
