Deviating from your regiment of meds can make your meds useless.

This is one of the reasons they are trying to make regiments once a day. One of the problems in the past and still today is people forgetting to take a prescribed dose at a prescribed time.

Luckily for me my regiment is once a day now, even though it it once a day, I still use a beeper to remind me to take it (it's that important).
