untaker

[Jonathan Lighter]

>From Yahoo! Shine:

"Researchers refer to patients who don't take drugs as prescribed as
'untakers', 'noncompliant' or 'nonadherent' patients."

If you take less than the prescribed dose, I guess you're a "undertaker,"
but maybe that's just me.

Cf. "the Uncola" instead of the "non-cola."
