Reviewers recommend this pocket card for anyone newly starting medication. Reviewers said it is a good adherence tool because it is, "very difficult to learn the new system (of taking medications)," and this would be an effective way to learn. Reviewers also liked the size of the card stating that it is very helpful since it can fit in your pocket to take with you and/or be posted on the refrigerator as a reminder. The reviewers suggested that this card be distributed by pharmacists and displayed in waiting rooms at HIV clinics.
