In a survey of patient adherence to medicines for chronic diseases, 60% of participants stated forgetfulness was the reason for missed doses.5 The study found that missed doses were more commonly reported by patients with vitamin D deficiency, followed by hyperlipidaemia.5 
Identifying whether a medicine is time-critical requires knowledge of the half-life of the medicine, as it is a major determinant of the fluctuation in inter-dose concentrations at a steady state.14 Half-life serves as guidance for making informed recommendations on what to do when a dose of medicine is missed. Four to five half-lives is a general rule of thumb used to approximate the time needed for a medicine to be considered eliminated from the body. At that time point, the plasma concentrations of a given medicine will reach below a clinically relevant concentration.15
