description The present study was designed to assess the therapeutic compliance of psychiatric patients who reported to be on regular medication particularly phenothiazines. Of the all cases subjected to the F.P.N, test, it was clearly negative in 21 (18.9 %) indicating, their non-adherence to the drug therapy. Despite their report of regular drug intake at the time of urine screening, five of these twenty one patients had reported at a later date discontinuity of therapy for some reason or the other. Curiously, on a long term drug therapy, the incidence of non-compliance is relatively less.
