From Consumer Reports to peer reviewed journals, a number of studies have shown that less than 25% of patients actually read the education sheets they receive with their prescription medications—and far fewer actually understand the information those leaflets contain. While there is no hard data on the fate of the patient education sheets that go unread, it’s a safe bet that the majority of them wind up in the trash or shoved in a drawer.
