| Improve your diagnostic skills to unmask non-adherence. |
| Always ask open questions. |
| Use objective methods to detect non-adherence, such as measurement of blood hydroxychloroquine levels. |
| Try to understand the reasons for non-adherence. |
| Explain but listen first. |
| Set-up a tailored-management plan. |
