CRD SUMMARY:

This review compared the effects of fixed-dose combination pills and unit-of-use packaging with medications as usually presented on adherence and clinical outcomes. The authors concluded that combination pills and unit-of-use packaging were likely to improve adherence, but the effect size was uncertain. This was a well-conducted review and the authors' conclusions are likely to be robust.
