Sažetak
The study was designed as a cross-sectional survey by use of a self-administered questionnaire. The survey was conducted at Zagreb pharmacies and the questionnaire was filled out by study subjects with instructions and help provided by the pharmacist as questionnaire administrator. According to medication adherence, study subjects were divided into two groups of adherent and nonadherent subjects, as declared by themselves. The subjects answering the respective question that they had never failed taking their medication on time were considered as adherent, and all others as nonadherent subjects. The questionnaire listed 16 common reasons for nonadherence and study subjects had to answer questions on each of these reasons as the possible cause of his/her nonadherence.
