Prescription medicines are becoming more expensive. New medicines may cost up to $10,000 per month, and even older generic medicines have had price increases, or been moved to specialty drugs with higher copays.

Because of this many patients are making the error of not taking all the medicine as prescribed, or taking only half doses, or even stopping the medicine without letting the doctor know. This is dangerous.
