Nonadherence is especially common in drugs that treat asymptomatic conditions, such as hypertension. One way to reduce the likelihood of nonadherence to these drugs is to prescribe a drug that:
 
  1. Has a short half-life so that missing one dose has limited effect
  2. Requires several dosage titrations so that missed doses can be replaced with lower doses to keep costs down
  3. Has a tolerability profile with fewer of the adverse effects that are considered irritating, such as nausea and dizziness
  4. Must be taken no more than twice a day
