Helping improve "Concordance"

Concordance means helping to ensure that patients are able to complete their course of medication.  This is vital with TB drugs because incomplete treatment can lead to drug resistance in the patient and anyone they pass the TB on to and is much more difficult to treat and more often fatal. 

A treatment pack and treatment diary sponsored by Genus Pharmaceuticals help patients to understand which tablets to take and when, and are available with translation into 20 ethnic languages used in the UK. 

Genus Pharmaceuticals is a company specialising in the sales and marketing of branded and generic medicines. Genus markets a commonly used medicine for the treatment of TB and shares TB Alert’s aim to eradicate tuberculosis.
