Prescription drug takers are more likely to take their medication if they receive a text message reminder, according to a new study released Thursday.

Published in the May issue of Clinical Therapeutics, the study found that patients receiving text message reminders had better medication adherence rates than those who did not – 85 percent versus 77 percent. The adherence rates for those taking chronic anti-diabetes medication were even higher – 91 percent versus 82 percent.
