What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates a pharmacist-led Medication Management Service (MMS) aimed at optimizing medication use and improving health outcomes for patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension in community pharmacies across Hong Kong. The study involves a randomized controlled design where participants will receive MMS after a control period without the service. The trial will assess patient satisfaction, medication adherence, health-related quality of life, and overall health outcomes. A total of 640 participants will be recruited, and their clinical data will be analyzed to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the MMS.
