The purpose of this article was to explain the conceptual framework of the Health Belief Model and Functional Health Literacy, which are recently outstanding topics on healthcare. Further, Pharmacotherapy Literacy is going to be defined as a remarkable subject in the literature. This is a descriptive study illustrating the concepts with the literature.
