The primary goal of<unk> s is to increase patient adherence by making it easier and more convenient for people to use injectable therapy. This is especially problematic with injectable medications given the extra work associated with an injection, as well as the potential aversion to self-injecting medication.<unk> s increase patient adherence by increasing the ease of self-administering injectable medication, as well as the portability of injection medication. Furthermore,<unk> s are easier to handle and use than vials and syringes, making them useful in people with low dexterity, cognitive or visual impairment, or those who worry about being able to properly use a vial and syringe. For medications which do not follow standard dosage in all people,<unk> s may be designed to enable easier and more accurate administration of an exact dose, whereas a vial and syringe requires the person to prepare the correct dose themselves.<unk> s may also remove stigma or fear around the use of injection medication in public environments, such as insulin before a meal at a restaurant. Combination<unk> s which include multiple medications used to treat a disease are designed to reduce the number of injections a person must use to administer their medications. The reduction in number of injections required may decrease the risk of non-adherence due to forgetfulness or unwillingness to self-inject medication.
