The purpose of the study is to test if a Pharmacist Intervention Program with home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) improves or controls pharmacological adherence and blood pressure levels in hypertensive patients under pharmacological treatment, compared to those who receive usual care in a community pharmacy setting.
Hypertension is a major health concern worldwide due to its deleterious impact on the population in terms of excessive morbidity and mortality, especially when there is insufficient hypertension control and prevention at the community level.
