DOMINGO-PUEYO, Andrea  and  CAMPOS-MARTINEZ, Beatriz. Dosage changes in order to increase adherence to treatments through the Personalized Dosing System (SPD): a case of home pharmaceutical care. Hosp. domic. [online]. 2022, vol.6, n.4, pp.153-156.  Epub Dec 19, 2022. ISSN 2530-5115.  https://dx.doi.org/10.22585/hospdomic.v6i4.174.

An 87-year-old patient included in the Personalized Dosage System Service (PDS) at the request of his wife. After following the Standard Work Protocol of the Marta Mayor Pharmacy, the patient's medication is prepared in these devices.

Given the lack of adherence to the treatments, it was decided to propose a change in dosage to the doctor to which he would agree. From this moment on, the patient has 100% adherence to treatment.

The use of the SPD is an excellent tool to help patients in the management of medication and also allows adherence to it to be observed and, failing that, to make modification proposals to increase it. Thus, a multidisciplinary follow-up of the patient increases therapeutic compliance, improving their quality of life and assuming savings for the National Health System.
