OBJECTIVE: To study the practical management of oral treatments at home by people living with one or more chronic diseases.
METHODS: Thirty general practitioners in France were invited by e-mail to enrol ten consecutive patients with chronic diseases.
METHODS: A quantitative, descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out using standardised questionnaires to assess the socio-demographic profile of doctors and patients and the management of oral medication at home.
RESULTS: Twenty general practitioners collected 180 questionnaires: 69.4% said they did not find taking their medication a problem; 42.8% used a pillbox; 79.4% said they knew \'all\' their medications. 61% reported forgetting to take their medication.
CONCLUSIONS: More than half of patients are non-adherent. Personalised reminders could reduce unintentional medication non-adherence.
