SummaryAntimalarials, such as chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, have been used to treat cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus for decades with excellent therapeutic efficacy. Smoking seems to inhibit the therapeutic efficacy of antimalarials when treating cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), but the reason behind this observation is unclear. In addition, antimalarials have been associated with several potentially serious adverse effects, including irreversible loss of vision. The aim of this literature review is to discuss the evidence for how cigarette smoking interferes with antimalarial efficacy in the treatment of CLE. Evidence-based data with long-term follow-up will allow determination of the aetiology for diminished antimalarial response, and enable selection of the best treatment to maximize long-term remission in CLE.

“…Patienten förväntades följa doktorns direktiv utan invändningar eller diskussion, en paternalistisk attityd. Uppfattningen bland läkare var att doktorns attityd och beteende spelade en liten roll i förhållande till vad patientens personlighet betydde för en behandlingsframgång (70). Compliance -Termen har ett militärt ursprung och har innebörden av "undfallenhet", "foglighet".…”

“…Adherence to medical regimens has been studied in detail since the 1960s (M. S. Davis, 1968;Korsch, Gozzi, & Francis, 1968). Initial investigations showed fairly high levels of nonadherence to doctors' advice (37%; M. S. Davis, 1968) and high levels of dissatisfaction with treatment by physicians (24%; Korsch et al, 1968).…”

The Medication Adherence Questionnaire (MAQ) is a scale used to evaluate adherence to medications. The present study assessed the factor structure and validity of the MAQ with cigarette smokers. A principal components analysis was conducted on MAQ scores from a sample of smokers presenting for treatment in a clinical trial of naltrexone and nicotine patch for smoking cessation (N=385). Indices of convergent and predictive validity were tested using electronic medication caps for naltrexone, nicotine patch counts, plasma drug levels of naltrexone, and treatment outcomes. The principal components analysis revealed two factors. Factor 1, labeled "unintentional nonadherence," measured the extent to which individuals were nonadherent because they were careless or forgot to take their medications. Factor 2, labeled "purposeful nonadherence," assessed nonadherence related to purposefully stopping medication use after feeling better or worse. Only the second factor was shown to have good convergent and predictive validity. Specifically, this factor was related to pilltaking behavior measured with electronic medication caps and drug plasma levels and nicotine patch use based on nicotine patch count data, and it was associated with smoking cessation outcome. Thus the purposeful nonadherence factor of the MAQ may be used as a brief screening tool for medication adherence with cigarette smokers seeking treatment. Information obtained with this questionnaire could be used to counsel patients regarding the importance of medication adherence.
