| Popis: | The aim of the study is to assess the structure of use of hypotensive drugs and adherence to the antihypertensive therapy among pharmacy visitors in Grodno. Material and methods. We conducted questionnaire survey among 109 pharmacy visitors who bought antihypertensive drugs.Results. ACE inhibitors is the most widely used group of antihypertensive drugs among the pharmacy visitors in Grodno. 44% of them took one drug. The most of the pharmacy visitors used hypotensive drugs regularly; however, 19,3% respondents were non-adherent, mostly from the middle-aged group (45-59 years). Conclusion. The structure of use of antihypertensive drugs among the pharmacy visitors in Grodno complies to the international guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension. However, there are some disadvantages: 1) relatively large number of respondents use only one antihypertensive drug; 2) some respondents, especially among middle-aged persons, take antihypertensive drugs not regularly. |
