They had been treated for their condition during a mean of 8.4 years and took an average of 4.6 drugs. 31% Of patients did not answer any question about their medication properly and only 17% gave a correct answer to all the questions. The lower the age and the higher the educational level, the higher the proportion of correct answers to knowledge questions. 35% Of the patients stated not to have been informed about their medication and 55% stated that they had read the patient package inserts.
