Prescribing trends and patterns for antihypertensive agents in primary healthcare settings in Qatar: a retrospective observational study
These findings are consistent with national and international guidelines for hypertension management and with published literature. Yet, there is still room for improvement to optimise antihypertensive prescribing practices. Prescribers need to address potential gaps and explore ways to enhance their hypertension management, so that patients have access to effective and evidence-based treatments.
