FOX - When it comes to pills, a study says color really matters.
Brand name drugs come in their signature colors, but often times their generic equivalent are in a different shade. Researchers say that can play a part in the amount of usage for a patient.
According to a study by Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, patients are up to 50 percent more likely to stop taking a generic medication if it doesn't match the color of its brand-name cousin.
The study analyzed national data on patients taking anti-epileptic drugs.
Researchers say patients are increasing their risk of being in potentially serious consequences. Failure to take a prescribed medication for even a day can be harmful.
Generic drugs account for an estimated 70 percent of all prescription filled in the United States.
