Using a medication management box is a practical and effective method to ensure medication compliance. Crushing medication and hiding it in food is not safe and can alter the medication's effectiveness. Simply providing more education about the medication may not address the underlying reasons for non-compliance. Asking the doctor if all medications are necessary is important but does not address the issue of compliance.
