Timeframe: Assessed on day 112 of the study (the end of the study period). The outcome reflects the number of subjects who did not miss pills during the entire 112 day study. It does not represent a change from baseline.

measured by self report of pill intake on daily diary (yes/no), and reported as percentage with no missed pills over entire study
