In the ED, immediately after discharge, participants randomized to the pharmaceutical care group will receive intervention coordinated by the study pharmacist.

In addition to counseling provided by a physician and by the nursing staff during their stay in the ED (usual care), patients randomized to the control group will receive the same printed material information on hypertension and/or diabetes medications and lifestyle interventions in order to keep patients masked.

The clinical pharmacist will provide a structured 30-minute intervention for enhancing their medication adherence.

The recommendations include: discussion on hypertension and/or diabetes, risk of complications, prescribed drug therapy, correct use of medications and proper dosage, possible adverse effects, route of administration, schedule of administration and correct storage. The pharmacist will also emphasize the importance of lifestyle modifications. Printed educational material, with information on hypertension and/ or diabetes medications, including suggested lifestyle interventions was prepared to assist in the intervention and will be handed to patients in the end of the session.

Outcome of interest: High Adherence According to the Brief Medication Questionnaire and Morisky-Green Test
