Ana Sofia CarvalhoPaulo SantosPublished in: Patient preference and adherence (2019)
The better the drugs, the better the control of blood pressure, if patients take them. Rather than investing in the prescription of more drugs, it is important to address non-adherence and reduce it to promote better blood pressure control. Organizational factors are relevant constraints and depend on administrative and political decisions. Although they are not always considered, they greatly impact the adherence to medication.
