On the topic of non-compliance, I found this a pretty pathetic statistic:
56% of children on a 10-day course of penicillin for streptococcal infections were no longer receiving the drug by day three. (The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy)
I guess I expect it with maintenance drugs, but this is for your sick kids where you have already purchased the medication.
