The aim of the work. To analyze the prescription of antihypertensive drugs of different groups in hospital conditions, the adherence of patients to treatment; to determine the role of the pharmacist in increasing the effectiveness of the treatment of people with arterial hypertension.
Materials and Methods. A retrospective analysis of 34 medical records of inpatients who were treated in Ternopil City Communal Hospital No. 3 during 2022 with a diagnosis of "Arterial hypertension, II stage" was conducted as was also the analysis of questionnaires (supplemented Morisky-Green questionnaire (MMAS-8)).
Results and Discussion. The analysis of pharmacotherapy showed that patients mostly received combined antihypertensive therapy (79.4 %), the share of patients who received ACE inhibitors was 61.8 %, diuretics – 53.0 %, calcium ion antagonists and beta-blockers – 20.6 %. As a result of the analysis of the questionnaires, it was found that the high level of compliance was in 17.6 %, average level in 14.7 % of patients, and the low one (67.6 %) prevailed, especially in the older age group.
Conclusions. A low level of adherence to treatment was recorded in the vast majority of patients. Pharmacists within the framework of the current protocol need to work with patients with arterial hypertension to increase adherence to treatment.
