I try to gently remind them but I don't push it further than that

I educate and create a conversation that lets the patient feel comfortable asking questions. If they’re failing to take needed meds due to a sub clinical side effect, that needs to be clarified. In the long run it’s their choice, but to me- those choices should be made on complete information.
