Background: As an essential part of the treatment chain and also the link between physicians and patients, pharmacists play a major role in optimizing drug administration. Compliance with a therapeutic regimen is necessary for therapeutic success, while non-adherence can lead to disease progression and eventually treatment failure. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of pharmacist’s patient education on different parameters of patient compliance. Results: The results showed the patients receiving the intervention compared to the control group, were significantly more adherence to the correct drug use dose (p = 0.016), time of use (p = 0.018), treatment duration (p =0.001), and frequency (p = 0.049). Conclusions: This study indicates that detailed patient counseling at pharmacies can positively influence different parameters of patients’ adherence.
