Optimising Antihypertensive Therapy: Prescribing Patterns and Adherence

The purpose of this study is to assess prescription trends for antihypertensive and compliance to the prescription for the treatment of hypertension. In order to lower the morbidity, mortality and healthcare expenses associated with hypertension, it is crucial to audit antihypertensive prescriptions. The selection of antihypertensive medications is influenced by various factors. It’s critical to evaluate prescription patterns over time in order to support the prudent use of medications. Globally, hypertension is the primary factor contributing to rising rates of morbidity and mortality. Maintaining strong adherence to antihypertensive drugs remained the most significant problem, even though therapy adherence is a key factor in treatment success to lower apparent resistant hypertension. The clinical course of hypertension is significantly influenced by adherence to antihypertensive medication. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the antihypertensive medication prescription patterns of patients with concomitant conditions and hypertension alone and to evaluate hypertensive patient’s adherence to antihypertensive drugs.
