In age-wise distribution of total population, the dominant age group was 40-50 years(33.33%) followed by 29-39 years(29.52%).In this study population(N=105), Psoriasis Vulgaris (36.1%) is the most common type of the psoriasis observed, with least being Plantar psoriasis(1.38%) and Scalp with Guttate type(1.38%).Mean and standard deviation of MMAS-8 score at baseline was 3.81731±2.03257 and at first follow-up was 1.10577 ± 0.55590, MMAS-8 score has compared at baseline and first follow-up. At baseline none has high adherence, 33 patients have medium adherence and 72 patients has low adherence .At first follow- up 10 patients have high adherence, 95 patients have medium adherence and none has low adherence. The medication adherence was increased from low adherence to medium adherence mainly in the age group of 40-50years. The p -value comparison of medication adherence at baseline was 1.35 and at follow up was 0.00426. Conclusion: This study helps to understand the need of a pharmacist for better medication adherence.
